The database of the Google Earth maps has been updated. Among other highlights most of Germany is now in hi-res. Also the low res areas are using a different set of data and look a lot better. Major changes around most island countries. Some data is reported to have regressed in time though (Taiwan for instance).

Google Maps is suposed to pick these updates up but not yet.
