Thanks for the heads up!

I love going through the updated aerials... No matter how much you try and stay on top of things that perspective always brings surprises.

Unless I am looking at wrong aerials, it is still showing about 2 years ago. The aerial of my office in film row is showing a picture where the building was still being framed out. We have been in the building over a year now. The ones of my hood out by the airport look to be about three years old.

Looks good on my end. Maybe clear the cache on the app?

I may be going somewhere different. I am just googling address (600 W Sheridan) and then hitting the earth view on the map that pops up on google.

It is still showing my place from about two years ago as well. And I'm not talking "app", I don't have any apps, this is on my IMac.

You have to access the new aerials from the Google Earth program/application. Google Maps takes longer to update.

Yeah the new aerials are on Google Maps on my phone, but still not computer. Google Earth is still dated although it's just about one year ago as in the browser it's more like 2 years.

KayneMo is right, it looks like 3D mode is what is holding up getting the newer images when using it's website version.

It can be disabled by clicking the menu button in the top left of the page, and then clicking where it says "3D on"

Yeah not sure why mine isn't updated. I also just redownloaded and still has 2015 as newest. I also disabled 3D on browser google maps and still old even after cache flushes. I'm sure it'll just be right at some point.

Catch,
I checked with Google Earth as well, it showed the same picture. I should have mentioned that, but thanks for the "heads up".

Seems like my google maps in any browser is now updated, Earth still hasn't butni bet it will be soon.

My guess is that it takes a while for them to sync all of the servers, so the server I am accessing may be different than the physical server you may be accessing. It could easily work the other way where you see it and I don't. A service as large as Google will have a lot of servers all over the planet and they probably don't load the new imagery to them all at once.

Part of the problem too I think is if you have it in 3d mode or not. If you do, simply click the dropdown menu on the top right of your screen to disable 3d. Simply hitting the 3d button on the left part of the screen won't fully turn it off.

I also want to say Moore's Central Park is not much of a park. Hopefully that changes as they seem to have the land available.

The comparisons in certain areas are pretty awesome though I actually don't love the color the grass was in these new aerials. Perhaps that's a function of the "3D" option that I had to turn off. Hopefully they'll be color-corrected soon.

Anyway, here's some comparisons:

Old 235:

New I-235: (Metropolitan and GE)

Old Park/Convention Center:

New Park/Convention Center:

Old OKC Blvd:

New OKC Blvd:

Old East Bricktown:

New East Bricktown:

Old Midtown:

New Midtown (Bleu Garten, SA Expansion, Fassler):
