6 year old imagery is borderline useless for anything but the most banal of use cases.
John Tory relied on that when he hatched up his transit plan for Eglinton. Oops.

It is only useful for historical cases, but definitely not for current or future planning.6 year old imagery is borderline useless for anything but the most banal of use cases.
Google Earth has had recent imagery available for a while now. The default is still 2009 though ... and Google Maps is 2009 - or at least that's what I'm seeing.Google Earth has released a second 3D update now, The entire city is (finally) updated to to the new type of 3D. The imagery for downtown is from summer 2014 as well, which means its really recent!
Finally we get a proper update after 6 years of waiting... the city really is completely different than it was in 2009.
I hadn't looked at the 3D Buildings for a long time. Wow! Yes, looks like summer 2014. Kind of eerie how there's no cars anywhere on the roads, only parked!
Looking at the 6 new subway stations is cool ... many of the holes for the stations are in 3D!
Odd that such good 2014 imagery is available for that, but they haven't incorprated it into the regular view, or Google Maps.
Yes, you'd have to drive past Vaughan Centre station along Highway 7 to get to it. Similar problem trying to get from Jane to 400 when you are at the 407 currently.The station 407/Jane looks like it will have a huge parking lot. This should be super useful for those living in Vaughan and will help take a ton of cars off the roads.
But unfortunately it looks like it will be difficult to access from Hwy 400.
