Thanks, George. I just did Melbourne to try and find my place, but there 
are some definite limits compared to the US data. I guess we aren't worth 
spying on.  The Hallam bypass that goes near my house, and has been in 
place for a couple years, isn't on the map, so this is old data. Plus the 
zoom levels are limited. The closest zoom I can get to my house is 4 ticks 
down from the top and it is VERY blurry.  But images to the east of me is 
much sharper and with a closer zoom.  I'm seeing things I didn't even know 
were in the neighbourhood and I'm still puzzled.

Here's a link to the docks with a big cruise ship in port:
