    When I try to look at Tullamore on Google maps, it seems that all the high-res images are on the outskirts of the town in fairly rural places. Whereas the town itself is in low-res. This happen for anyone else?
    What's the story?

    It's to confuse the enemy ;) there's a VIP to visit the county very soon. I learn little nuggets of information such as this from reading the posts in the Conspiracy forum here on Boards :D that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

    Perhaps it's has something to do with security or something.

    Google haven't updated their ariel photography.

    Strange, but the whole lot is available in StreetView if you drag the icon to a location

    See, here's Bob Smyths

    They simply haven't updated the maps, that's all. What's much more interesting is not where they haven't, but where they HAVE. some of the rectangular sweeps done leave the mind boggling!
