Does anyone know how long images are "aged" prior to being made

projects, is about 4 years.


Using the same criteria with Google Maps for the Richland, Wa, area,
it's less than two years, maybe even one. But, maybe the update cycle is
4 years, even if it's a relatively new image when it is updated.


I now see a burned area near our house that occurred July 4, 2006, so
the image is less than 6 months old!
