How long does it take?

How long does it take for Google Earth to have your pool in their pictures? I put the pool in 2 years ago and still doesn't show up! My neighbor's solar panels do though and he put them in like 3 and a 1/2 years ago. Anyone know the update frequency? I wanna see my pool from the clouds!

Guess nothing interesting is happening in your neighborhood.

Find a friend with a drone to take pics from overhead.

I grabbed an aerial view last month and it was fairly accurate - about 2 years at most.

Have you checked out Bing? They have a pretty good aerial view/bird view as well.

I just tried but couldn't zoom down low enough to get a good few. I wonder if there's a trick to that site?

Ha just checked they don't even have the neighbor's solar panels!

Depending on your location, they may only have satellite imagery and not aerial.

Private companies, like Planet Labs do frequent imaging.

The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency has good imagery. They are sort of picky about access but you can ask.

@Jimrahbe has a camera mounted on his telescope (#nothingCreepyAboutThat) ... I’m sure he could help you out with “imagery”

I just covered my roof in tin foil to keep all you peeping toms from seeing me!

I think about every two years or so.

Check google earth. You can change the timeline on there and it usually has a more current image

Edit-Just reread that. You have already tried google earth. Did you move the timeline because it usually has newer images than the 1st one it shows you

Have you tried Google Earth Pro? When I go to Google Earth, it shows a picture of my house that is a few years old. But then if I click on the clock icon in the toolbar, it let's me choose pictures of a number of different dates, and I can actually see one newer than the starting photo it shows (and newer than one on Maps). It shows my pool under construction in Feb. 2018.

Also check Zillow. It shows a newer satellite picture of my house with the pool.
