Google Earth obtains its imagery from a wide variety of sources. At its lowest resolution, it uses Landsat imagery, a space bourne satellite that has imaged pretty much the whole of the Earth since its launch in 1999. This provides 15 metre resolution data - so each pixel represents 15m by 15m on the ground. They also have an arrangement with Digital Earth, whose QuickBird satellite has a resolution of about 60cm - which looks pretty close to aerial photography. There was a large update of this type of imagery in June (http://www.ogleearth.com/2006/06/google_earth_ge_3.html).
They also use aerial photography, mostly from local suppliers.
So, it will all depend on when/if QuickBird acquires more imagery of Cyprus, or if a local company can sell recent aerial photography to them.

the real question is why will we fall, seeing that issues do not pass till they have some thing to push or pull them. What pulls us, the earth, and each little thing else are magnetic fields that are greater suitable the better an merchandise is and the shorter the gap like a nicely-known magnet. we are pulled to the earth via fact the earth is vast, and the earth is pulled by making use of the sunlight via fact that's lots greater beneficial besides the undeniable fact that it is likewise pulled, yet much less, to the moon too, and each little thing else relative to the gap and length, to orbit around the sunlight.

My fathers house is still shown as it was over a year ago, he lives on the outskirts of Sheffield so looks like some areas are not priority.
The house has been extentended and it still shows the old roof.
My house in Middlesbrough cannot be seen at all, just the outline of the road where i live.
