Halifax Google Maps Recently Updated

The google maps image for Halifax has just been updated, and it's incredibly recent. I have the photo pegged somewhere in between June 10 (Icon Bay Cranes went up this day and are clearly visible) and July 4 (Junior Officer's Building at Fleet Club's crane is not up).

Anybody else think they can pinpoint this image's date?

It's probably June 11, as Maasdam was in on July 3 with QM2, but is not in the satellite photo.

Google Earth will tell you the image date which is June 10th, 2014 for most of Halifax.

I had posted this in General Updates & News thread a week and a half ago but it likely got lost in the heated discussion.

I was looking at this the other day at work, some interesting new things I noticed were:

- new clearing in west Bedford off Kearney Laker Road
- new clearing for Sandy Lake
- new clearing of Herring Cover Rd near long pond
- Burnside expansion including long woods road to a quarry towards the back of the Municipal Enterprises (Dexter Construction) quarry
- Paper Mill Lake still low
- Sandy Lake (the one on former Bowwater land) just past 103 exit 5 is also low for damn maintenance
- new clearing of right of way for 103 twinning

Do you mean Streetview? We were talking about Satellite images from space.

Man, if sheerwater airport wasn't there, it would open up a ton of space for development.

Google maps has live traffic for most cities in canada now, including Regina and Saskatoon. Both of which have about half the population of HRM. I wonder why nothing for Halifax? Or if it's even on Google's radar....would be cool to have.

Silly question - everyone knows there is nothing but a blank void of nothingness in Canada east of Montreal. Why would it be on Google's radar???

Google Traffic is now working in Halifax and is very accurate.

An Accident and stopped traffic on the 102 identified:

VIA Twitter @CBCNS: Traffic at a standstill on Hwy 102 inbound between exits 3 and 4 #cbcns
I see also that google maps over Halifax has been updated with some spring/summer 2015 images in places.
