The coverage of the country at high resolution is geared more to the
higher density population areas and more to the cities... However, it
can be erratic... Our place in Florida on a Key is just offshore from a
high density population area, but is imaged in low res only... Can't
even pick out individual buildings...
Our home and office here in Michigan, in a low density rural area is,
however, imaged in high resolution... And I can see that the photo was
taken more than two years ago because the neighbors pond is not there -
and I can tell that it was taken during the last two weeks of May - or
possibly as late as the first week of June - from the crops in my
fields... I can see cars on the road, and my wife's Blazer parked
outside, and the dumpster in my parking lot, so the resolution is
pretty good.. But, if I did not know what her vehicle is I would not be
able visualize it from the resolution they are allowing us to see -
it's just a white rectangle...

For you younguns this is just ho hum, but for those of us who found
Thor Heyerdahl's voyage on the Kon Tiki to be spell binding and wanted
to be just like him, this is science fiction...
