Best Answer

Google Earth imagery often looks like a quilt with different images stitched together.

Imagery comes from a variety of sources including aircraft and satellite even kites and air balloons. Imagery from different providers often have different resolutions and are from different times so the trick is to stitch the imagery together seamlessly. Further misalignment can be introduced if for example an aircraft camera is looking at the ground from an angle vs straight down since the look angle may add a distortion to the imagery.

The edges of such imagery can clearly be seen in Google Earth especially if looking at a large area.

Google Maps doesn't display the imagery dates, but Google Earth does. That's Google Earth the desktop application not the 'Earth' mode found in Google Maps. Google reports that the imagery in Google Maps and Google Earth is on average one to three years old. Since both use the same imagery database you only need to visit the same area in Google Earth and enable the 'Status Bar' in View menu to show the approximate imagery date for a given area in the lower-left corner of the screen.
