Google Earth

[flipnflap]

I have a basic version of Google Earth on my PC. Are the images I see all from one moment a while ago when a satellite photo was taken of Earth? I ask that cos nothing seems to move, so it can't be a live image. Can you buy a version of Google Earth which shows live images and, if so, please can you show me a link from where I can buy this?

The images are not 'live'. The majority of the photos can be up to three years old. For examle, I zoomed in the other day on a section of my home town and a large factory that was demolished two years ago is still visible. I imagine that some of the images of really remote places could be older that three years.

Live, or 'real time' images? I would think that only certain governmental agencies would have access to these.

I use Google Earth from work to check that my car is still on my drive.

I am sure that when I used it to look at my house, this year,
there was something that said the photo was from September 2005

Six years ago I moved from England to Spain, but on GE my car is still parked on the drive!
