Google Flyover 2007
Just got a notification from Google about the Australia Day fly-over:
"Australia Day is over, but the hi-resolution photography we took in Sydney Harbour during the celebrations is now live on our site. As you may know, Sydney was the first city Google chose to undertake an initiative like this at such a grand scale. While we couldn’t reach everywhere we’d hoped, we captured some great imagery and want to thank everyone who participated for helping make this celebration so much fun. We hope you’ll take a look, explore and re-live the day with us."
Well, it looks terrible. Not because we're not on it (and we we're certainly there when they flew over), but it's so patchy.
Look at the Opera and surroundings, and I think there were a lot more boats around, and people. People were having a party on the roof of our building -- I see no-one there (or maybe 3 dots, indistinguishable). It's a big disappointment.
Anyone else?

Have you seen Sydney aerial images on http://whereis.com - enter an address and from the map, click on the Photo button bottom left. Offers great resolution. Any guesses when they were taken?
We've also just added enhanced map control features and will be adding more improvements over the course of the year, so stay tuned.
