Anyone have a paid subscription to Google Earth?

[Mark42]

Google Earth claims that the paid upgrade subscriptions have higher resolution than the free version.

Can anyone here who has the paid version post your evaluation of the paid copy? Better, way better, or don't bother?

Thanks!

"Upgrade to Plus to add GPS device support, faster performance, the ability to import spreadsheets, and higher resolution printing."

I think the image on your screen is the same, you can just print in better than screen resolution (which is 72dpi I think).

I've found that the resolution on Mapquest (you have to click on "Aerial Image" at the top right of the map, then zoom in) is usually better than on Google earth.

Google's resolution changes from area to area. And I noticed lately that the images have been updated, but now they are summer scans, where before they were fall scans. The difference being you can see a lot more whith no leaves on the trees. Doh!

At least you see updates.

The Googleearth image of our property, is from spring, 2005.
