Last week, Google announced that a new imagery collection was integrated into Google Earth but, as usual, it didn't provide the name of the updated locations. However,
it published a few hints supposed to help Google Earth fans discover the updated areas, but the new pack of photos was actually bigger than anyone expected. Today, Matt Manolides, GIS Specialist, published a blog post in order to mention both new cities available in high resolution and the updated imagery around the world.
Among the entries listed in the "New high resolution" section, we can also find Romania and no less than 7 cities, which means that Romanians are now able to admire their country straight from the satellite. Sure, the Google employee misspelled the name of some cities (he wrote "Lasi" instead of Iasi and "Bralia" instead of Braila) but who cares since the high-resolution imagery is there and accessible for free?
Besides Romania, Google has updated many other European areas such as Portugal, Russia, Hungary, Greece, Bulgaria, Estonia and Moldova. Moreover, Google has released improved imagery for multiple American locations as it follows:
- Canada: Vancouver (BC), Sarina (ON), Brantford (ON), Birmingham,
- USA: Seattle, Dallas, Chicago, part of New York City, Round Rock (TX), Marble Falls (TX), Polk County (FL), Mecklenburg County (NC), Montgomery County (OH), much of eastern PA
- Mexico: Zacatecas, Aquascalientes, Durango, Merida

- Honduras: Tegucigalpa
In addition to the locations mentioned above, people interested in Asia & Oceania are also able to view the following locations in high-resolution:
