After reading on the Chiang Mai Forum.

Google has finaly updated its Google Earth Images.

The images are not too good.

Can anyone in Chiang Rai confirm this.

Just checked on my placemarks in CR. Nothing seems to have changed.

I`m using the free service. Maybe the subscription service has updated images

GE sometimes adds a bit here or there to their coverage. Those will be new images but the old stuff lingers on until they cover more of the area. At least that seems to be the case many of the outlying areas of the Rai. A couple of years ago they added a strip near our village but stopped just short of our house. I'm not complaining, though.

Still no sign of my house which makes the image more than 5 years old.

If you go back and reread the the original info the updates are for Chiang Mai and then its only from the east of Chiang Mai Ram to the extreme east of Doi Saket. I have been looking at other areas of Thailand and no go.

When you open Google Earth , go to help and download the latest version.

Google earth are continually updating and it's worth while keeping an eye out for the updates.

There is also a new feature http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/help/maps/streetview/

There was an imagery update July 4th - all of southern Thailand and Chiang Mai area. The imagery for where I live (north of CR city) is from 2006, I would love an update.

The red outlines are the updated areas:

Well that gave us something differant to look at.

:blink:Or maybe you don't actually live where you think you live?

Just checked my area and teh image date is given as Feb 9, 2008 although the image does appear clearer than it used to be. I have just cleaned my glasses though so ?!?!?!?!

The new photo is mostly over central Chiang Rai. To the north it stops just south of the New Airport and to the south just south of Huay Sak. My house is on the new photo and Kandahar, I can even see both my ponds in my ornamental garden!

And for golfers, you can see the 9 new holes at Army Course.

Ch35B, your house is in the new photo, maybe not your placemark!

Why do you need Google Earth or a GPS system ? If you dont know where you are, its better to look no further than where you sit or call a friend and he will tell you

What will you use to call your friend when you need to be told where you are? Morse code?

Hi Sven, yes I know my house is pictured on Google earth, but my 6 year old rubber trees are not. Neither is my 7 year old Sala beside my house.

Take care mate.

Correction. Just checked again on GE and it has been updated to include my rubber farm and my sala.

Thank you Google.
