Trae Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) I think Google Earth is being updated. They have now taken pictures of Galveston, it shows Schlitterbahn now. Are they going through an update now?Edit: The Woodlands is also being updated. Now, the western side is being shown.

The Galveston photos are part of a swath that indicentally goes from Galveston through Chambers and Liberty counties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 That thing is taking forever to build. I was there a little bit after the groundbreaking. A year later it still wasn't done. I wandered around taking pictures while my wife went into Tod's Omotesando. Big mistake. Her credit card melted.Notice on the Japanese Google maps that there are icons for all the McDonald's, 7-Elevens, Dennys', Baskin Robins', Family Marts, and more. That's very handy in a city with few street names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
