Does anyone know for certain how often pictures of people's homes are updated on Google Maps?
Are the pictures updated everywhere the same time or does it vary by location?
Yes, I'm sorry, I mean the Street View.
Thanks Molly, your question prompted me to ask this! lol That really bugs me now. I looked up mine & mine appears to be old too, but I'm wondering just how often they are updated because that really is creepy!
And thank you to those that answer this & provide info. All is appreciated!

You mean the street view (Where it shows the picture of a house from the perspective of a person standing on the street)? Those were taken by cars driving by that worked for google. These will take awhile to update (I would guess every 2-4 years), as no satellite can capture that angle.
If you mean the satellite view (Bird's eye view), that is updated every one to two years.
Both options require taking millions of millions of photos, and compiling them into one big, scrollable file.
