Note: the website was updated with a new design, and the list is now broken. The data is loaded from a wrong file, making the list being not updated anymore. The dates are also wrong as a very basic code error was made. Consequently January is displayed as 0 instead of 01 and December as 11 instead of 12. To get the correct date simply add 1 to the month’s numbers. There are many other mistakes done in this page, such as an unrelated image used to illustrate the image processing and showing the navigation functionality instead, or requiring users to do many additional clicks to show less data at once in the list, making it way less readable. This shows really well how poorly Google manages this website and the associated list.
New Coverage
This week had no major addition and very few minor additions. The most interesting ones are in Croatia but it is mostly data from the previous years being published after map updates. Other than that, a few small roads were added in a few usual countries such as Brazil and the United States.

Last week updates were found in 9 countries. Not a lot of updates, but Belgium started getting its first 2023 imagery.
