Why are some areas of google earth amazing and others so blurry?

Google hasn't updated Denver since May 24, 2002. How do I know the date?

>My sister's car is in the front of the house, meaning that she just came home from school.
>Invesco Field is set up for the Rapids.
>This was the last summer before my neighbors redid their driveway.

And it's the entire town, too. The street level thing is a little newer, however (my street was photographed around November 2006.)

Yep, the pics of Denver are a bit on the aged side! The apartment complex I used to live in doesn't even show the building I lived in as being started...

Their age especially shows if you look up Stapleton, Highlands Ranch, or the new CU Anschutz Hospital.

The Google Earth page used to have a rough estimate of when each major metropolitan area was recorded.

No kidding on Stapleton....I live near it and it's unreal! GE still shows the remnants of the runways......and, interestingly, shows only the barest beginnings of runway 16R/34L at DIA.....

Pity GE doesn't give any indication of the date recorded any longer.

Yeah, well, I was able to pinpoint the timeframe Denver was recorded. I'm pretty sure that was late May/early June 2002...
