Once or Twice a year.

Answer #2

Google doesn't take satellite pictures. Google purchases satellite imagery from a variety of providers such as DigitalGlobe and GeoEye. Much of Google's imagery actually comes from aerial Photography mostly in airplanes with special high resolution cameras. Google make bulk updates to Google Earth and Google Maps imagery usually every 60 days but not all areas are updated on each update.

Dates for satellite imagery depend on what area you're looking at. Dates varies greatly from 6 months to five years old.

The imagery date for a given image on Google Earth is shown in lower-left of status bar. Status Bar can turned on/off in the View menu. See details in article listed in related links.

The images in Google Earth (and Google Maps) are updated on a continuous basis typically every 2-3 weeks.

Street View imagery has its own update schedule and bulk updates are made on a less regular basis.

But note that both the aerial and satellite map imagery and street view imagery are updated for given regions and not globally so one area may be rather recent (usually not newer than 6 months) while another is 3 years old.

See related link below for a recent article on high resolution satellite imagery updates in dozens of countries along with a link to a KML file showing the locations of the latest updates in Google Earth.

How do you update Google Maps?

In 2006 Google Maps was updated to use the same satellite image database as Google Earth. Before that Google had to update and process imagery for both Google Earth and Google Maps where the maps where often out of sync with each other. Now Google updates its central map & imagery database and the updates are made available to both Google Earth and Google Maps at once. The time between getting imagery from satellite and seeing it on Google Maps is far from real-time. Once the imagery is taken by satellite, it takes time to process the data by a commercial provider like GeoEye before it is available to Google and other customers. Google will do additional processing to convert imagery into the format and coordinate system of its internal databases. This is one reason you normally won't find any imagery younger than about 6 months. For these reasons, the Google map & imagery database is updated once or twice a month.


Where can someone find satellite maps online?

Google Earth and Google Maps provide interactive access to satellite imagery that are often less than 3 years old. For special events or natural disasters (e.g. Haiti earthquake) Google has made new satellite imagery available in matter of days or weeks. If you want more up-to-date imagery then you might want to check the imagery providers directly (e.g. GeoEye, DigitalGlobe, etc.).


How does Google Earth collect the satellite images?

Google has people ride around in either cars or on bikes. These vehicles have a 360 degree camera attached to the top that take the pictures for the street view interface. Once processed by Google the images are made available to both Google Earth and Google Maps simultaneously.


How often does Google Earth take pictures?

Really depends on the source of the satellite imagery.Google for examples purchases or leases its satellite imagery from a number of imagery providers such as GeoEye and DigitalGlobe. Google updates it imagery on Google Earth and Google Maps once or twice a month but not the entire globe at once.Bing Maps (previously Live Search Maps, Windows Live Maps, Windows Live Local, and Microsoft Virtual Earth) is Microsoft's web mapping service. New updates are released on roughly a monthly basis.
