Hi Riverblue,

Quote:

why is it that resolution differs across the globe?



This is because we obtain the imagery from a variety of suppliers. These different companies offer a range of products, and so this gives a varied image resolution database.

Quote:

Why the differences, and is there anyplace I can go to get a list of which areas have what type resolution?



Unfortunately there isn't a list available. The database is too large to have a relevant list of places.

Quote:

Also, when were all these images taken? Same time or different? When I looked up my house, it showed a tree in the backyard that was removed about 8 months ago, so the image is at least that old.



Different times. The majority of the imagery is 1-3 years old although there are some exceptions where either the images are much more recent or older.

And, here are some more answers to more questions about data

Welcome to Google Earth Please fly safely.

Thanks,
Phil
