I don't find it user-friendly or responsive, e.g. I find it hard to stop the zoom-in / zoom-out with one click, and I'm not sure exactly how it works. I know the images are far from real-time; our locality was taken 18 months ago, but I've tried to get places I've visited abroad like Botswana and Greece for instance, but in case of Botswana just got blackness each time; Las Vegas on the other hand was clear as anything.
If Google took once-only pictures, and it was cloudy the day it took an area, is that just tough luck, and you'll never see it?
An explanation for the non-techies would be very helpful.

The big long black strip or the yellowy patch?
The black strip is Google sensoring it's images (probably a US air base or something)
The yellow patch is just where the image consists of a mosaic of several images having varying brightnesses - where it has been photographed at different times of the day.

like it, but has to have more constant updates on the pictures, they dont even have the tallest building in the world, Taipei 101, on there when it was finished. It happened to be under construction at the time of the picture.

There is an airfield on an island off the coast of Singapore, no one seems to know what it's for

It is probably a light artifact. Different segments were shot at different times under different lighting conditions.

Try and look at the Rozwell area - it's classified and won't let you get close enough to see anything.

I can't believe you can almost see people in the metro areas and you can barely see (even buildings) in rural areas.

I'm STILL trying to get Goggle Earth to function properly. It's infuriating.

Yeah, it looks really strange. I'm sorry, I've no idea.
Good question though.
