I'm not surprised that California images are updated much, much more frequently than Idaho images. The resolution of the latest Chinese spy satellite, according to the article I read (that I posted a link to a couple of replies ago) is 1 meter, and supposedly that's the best available right now. That's amazing, but not quite the same as what a low-flying Phantom could get.I assume you have not looked at high res satellite views, they can get down to very small details. Remember, the military of any nation, will have better resolution than you will ever be aware of.
But what I was saying was simple, if I wanted to look at any spot on the world, I can do so anytime I want in Google Earth. Now, if I were a General, I would be looking at images that would blow your mind.
When we put a new pad in for our motorhome, it was there within 6 months on Google Earth. When we put up a 15,000 gallon water tank up at LAAS, it was on Google Earth within 3 months.
Anyway, unless somebody (at a Chinese site, say) remotely controls my phantom, it probably won't take the pictures or videos that they want to see. Still, the military is concerned.
