Looks like a GM only update last night. Most of CA has new images and Eastern TX. With the new low res high altitude it is hard to tell what has been updated though. Hopefully this will be in GE soon so we can more clearly see what has been updated.

Am I the only one to notice a very important slow down of GoogleMaps page? Since about a week (the update?), refreshing, scrolling, zooming are very slow. However, GoogleEarth is ok.

It's getting worse and worse... Don't know why I have to use Firefox, now. GooglesMaps did'nt work anymore on Safari.
