depends on the source pics, some areas just haven't been recorded in sufficient detail yet.
Some people have found themselves mwing the lawn or having bbqs etc.
Fantastic resource. One of the top things on the net, after SN obviously.

blimey you need to spend some time in the computer section they have lots of thingymebobs and whatsits and cablythingy rule on google earth. it your place aint mapped, you get swirly green.
if you zoom out you will by the shades of brown, green etc and the ones in dark brown, grey are the ones mapped, the rest are not.
solution: move house into the darker areas, then post a pic

They're pretty clear for most people.
It means nothing to anyone that doesn't know me though. This picture was taken in July 2003 because my old car is still outside my parents house.

Check out all of the parked cars on the airfield just north west of his house! Google Earth is just fantastic - you could waste your life looking on there!

This is a tremendous file that highlights how great a resource GE is:
http://www.exige.me.uk/motorsport.zip
It was put together by a chap on a Lotus forum and contains many of the motorsports circuits in the world as well as things like main manufacturers factories and museums.
If you look at bedford, you can see the tyre bails quite clearly.
He said:
"I have tried to put the location icon as close as possible to the startline/pits. For race circuits it's easy to see the layout, however for road/street circuits it's not so obvious, as such have a look at the following sites.
http://www.racingcircuits.net/
http://www.gdecarli.it/.%5Cindex.htm
http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/tracks/tracks.html
The key I've used is
Red Car = old Circuit
Yellow Car = Current circuit
Green Car = future development
With a ring round it it's a test track.
A building is a factory or similar."

On the above file, Goodwood is a good example of where the good photos run out.
The south side of the circuit is fine, you can pick out the marshals cars/ambulances but the north is completely rubbish and you can't even see the buildings.
