Google maps - age of layers
This is just trivia, but I never realised that google map images could be different ages at different levels of zoom.
At 100m zoom: the old playing is still there.
Same place, at 50m zoom: and now its transformed!

That's just a google maps thing. Doesn't happen in google earth. I don't know but at a guess I would say the closer zoom images where taken by an airplane... (and the outer zoom images are the same as google earth)

For the benefit of older un-Americanised Aussies, that's the same as an "aeroplane".Laighside Legends wrote: ...taken by an airplane...

Do we spell it differently as well? I thought it was still spelt the same but we just pronounced it differently...
And is it air-a-plane or air-o-plane ???

I thought it was pronounced go-fly-far?
