Updating Google Earth

I'm wondering when Google Earth will update too. I have the free version, but i think they could update those pictures every year. Some of the images are really old, like 2/3 years back from where i am. I know it's cool to have the entire world from your desktop, but it would help to update regularly. I hope when they update it's not like 1 year back, but at least as recently as possible.

i see this as an issue too.
they have satellite images from many years ago.
one time me and my brother tried looking up where we lived on google earth in the corner it said "satellite image token app. 4 years ago"
i think it would be merely impossible for google to update that every single other day or every single other month .
but they should update places that have changed dramatically. like i live near san Francisco and about a year ago or so they was a big incident that destroyed some parts of the McAfee highway. the building constructing project changed the features and how the bridge/highway looked.
they should take the important stuff in consideration , like places of high population and high traffic.
and from what i heard google doesn't have images for some areas.
that reminds me of family guy , when peter tried looking his house up on the town map and he couldn't see it so he made petertopia or something xD

Google occasionally pushes out new satellite when they become available to them from their sources, although images are usually updated for more popular area especially those within the United States. However, if you wish to keep up to date with the latest maps update being pushed onto Google Maps, you may want to subscribe to the Google LatLong Blog (http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/), which is the official company blog that covers updates to the Google Maps service.
