Apologies if this news is rather old hat, but I recently took a look at Google Earth for the first time in a couple of weeks and found the increased detail in ?up north? England to be fantastic; Lakes, Dales, Pennines, Peaks, all looking brilliant. The detail is amazing, I swear I can see the puddle of oil that sits under my Land Rover.
To give an idea of the increased coverage, good detail on the Pennine Way previously went from Edale to Ponden (nr Haworth). North of this was pretty poor resolution.
However the detail is now excellent and extends all the way past Byrness to the border fence.
Really fab and free!
