Yes - it works fine for me.

Try looking at a different area or zooming out - with the Bing images, if you zoomed in too far (which wasn't very far at all in areas where the images were bad) then you'd just see a blank area. Maybe the area you're looking at has lower-resolution images from Google than Bing had, and is showing a blank view because of that.

I'd prefer if we were able to choose images from Google *or* Bing depending on which was better for any given location - but I guess that part is up to Waze.

Hi Pip,

I haven't had time to look everywhere in detail, but *some* images are good because they cover areas that weren't covered at all before, however others (such as most of Dublin) are a good five years out of date. This is quite annoying because the Bing images for most of Dublin had recently been updated so for the first time we could see a lot new construction that was very hard to map before, and now some of this new construction has vanished from the satellite imagery. That said, the Google images for Dublin are newer than the Bing images before the recent update (which seemed to be at least eight years old).

Summary: there are some good sides to the new Google imagery (new areas covered), but some areas definitely now have imagery that is a lot older than what Bing was providing before.

Hey ho

Are your satellite images up to the same standard as the last update? I've just been checking North of the Border and they are in no way the same resolution or quality, they are also vastly out of date, 5-7 years, mostly.
