Having lived in the same house for 10 years and done a bunch of work on it, what I find fascinating is the age of the photos they stitch together. I can look at the arial view and it's from when I had the swimming pool, switch to 3D and see it's once I built the chicken coop, rotate to look east and "Oh look, that's after we put on the solar panels".

I wonder what drives the frequency of when the maps images are updated.
