Google Updates Satellite Images

Google has updated the satellite images for its ubiquitous maps service (but has not yet fixed all of its known errors). The photographs above Hercules must be from sometime this past summer or early fall, but no earlier than August. Some new additions are worth highlighting.
The excavation for Sycamore North, known to nearby residents as “the pool…”
A completed and handsome Frog Pad Park…
The relocated Transit Center (which provides a benchmark for dating the images)…
And the grove of trees that no longer exists on what was referred to as Eucalyptus Hill at the future site of Duck Pond Park…
Google’s street view images have not been updated.
UPDATE — The satellite images were taken prior to mid-October since that is when the Eucalyptus tree removal started.
The satellite images were taken on Sep 24 2009.
