Can anyone tell me how I can get an up to date overhead image of a site in Auckland? Current image displayed is dated April 2019.

Find a company that specialises in aerial photography and pay them to take some up to date photos of the area.

I assume you have already checked Auckland Council GIS map? It can be a bit hit and miss - sometimes it is more up to date than Google, but sometimes it's behind. Either way it's worth checking if you have not already done so.

Try LINZ. https://data.linz.govt.nz/search/?q=aerial+photo+auckland+2019

 

But seriously, I doubt you'll find later than April last year.

If using Google Earth, try turning 3D buildings off in settings/Map style as it may give you a newer image... worked for me :)





I'm not a complete idiot, I still have some parts missing.

Thanks for replys. I have learned that you can request from Google to refresh the map area you are interested in. Send them a screendump. But the wait may be long I suspect :-(
