This creates some funny / interesting effects on the boundaries
of old and new data. Als nice to compare old
and new resolution.

Look at the color differences (season?) , missing warehouses on old pictures
and compare also water widths.

I haven't seen this anywhere, but it seems that Google is updating its satellite 
maps with even higher resolution data.
Compare what I previously knew as "best resolution": 
<http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=nl&geocode=&ie=UTF8&ll=51.835292,5.859522&spn=0.001566,0.003272&t=k&z=19>

with this:
<http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=nl&geocode=&ie=UTF8&ll=51.973234,4.253047&spn=0.000781,0.001636&t=k&z=20>

That's pretty impressive (and will get everyone looking at the beaches to see 
some skin).

Regards,
Maarten
