    It's a matter of the weather being good at the right time. Google don't move satellites around. The weather needs to be good whenever the satellite happens to fly above the city on its orbit.

    Some is. The bit of east Waterford is satellite, as is much of the half-decent stuff in this country. Not that it makes much difference to the point. Unlike their Street View cars, Google still don't take the photos themselves. It comes from third parties who have their own work and schedule.

    Dunmore East has been there for at least a year if I recall, most of the buildings there were there last year when I first started seeing that 3D feature

    There are programs like Google Sketch up 8 that you can download and design buildings. They can be submitted to Google for approval, afaik

    That is correct. The Church in Upper Dunmore east has just been modified and will include surrounding wall and trees they should be seen on Google Earth in two weeks time.
