The vehicle camera quality has been greatly increased over the years, but then they need to redo driving the entire world again and again. This is why the quality changes from place to place, as they update is slower in various places. Sure they use satellite images, but then they have to actually drive every single street too at a smooth speed in vehicles. If Google can do that? they can update their maps accordingly on a regular basis. Originally posted by Azza ☠:Firstly understand that Google Earth, is just that, the entire Earth. This is the VR version of Google Earth (certain locations are seriously detailed): There's still some amusing things captured around for example: Ps: They will blur out people's faces and car license plates, etc. Overall Google Earth is seriously detailed for what it is. You however need a good Internet connection to stream that roam, without noticing map load. Based on variable distance and bandwidth an objects complexity, or textures resolution will gradually decrease or increase in order to optimize performance vs quality.Īdd in VR (Virtual Reality) and you have certain locations, mostly tourist attractions and main popular places, you can even visit. Also, each map piece overlaps the others and has multiple levels of LOD (Level Of Detail). It will depend on your Internet connection to load in all the details, but also certain areas of the map might not be as detailed as others. So tell me something, is it wrong to expect google to updates its maps every so often to keep them reasonably up to date so people know where they are going?įirstly understand that Google Earth, is just that, the entire Earth. a few weeks later and google finally updates it's map and adds this new housing block. In reality there is a road around the other side of the town, that lets you into this new area and will take 10 minutes to reach by car and no known way to get there by foot because the houses are built in such a way that doesn't allow easy footpaths.Īfter 2 hours you give up and go home. so you park the car up and start searching around on foot. Let's say you wanted to travel to a town 50 miles from here and used google maps to do it, so you head out in that direction but you then realise that google maps isn't up to date and there is a new housing block in existence, so you look around and find no way to reach this area after an hour by car. How up to date do you expect Street View to be? Talk about entitled.Īlright then, lets work with what you say including the disrespectful tone. frankly i expected nothing less from google honestly.
