Not sure who does the mapping, but Ordnance Survey fly over about every 5 years unless a major change occurs (such as widening the M1 for example)

It depends on what square you are looking at, could be years ago could be yesterday.

On Google maps none of my familys cars are at my house so thats at least 3 years plus.

MSN Maps is much better, my Dad's van is there so that's within 3 years old.

Birds eye view is mental!

Live maps still has a petrol station by me that closed down in 2001

I have just found my old apartment though and the reason it was such a good (turned bad) idea to move there

Red arrow was my apartment, blue one was my local

MS must be two years old for me as the new lawn was looks just planted, or just before in the pic. More worryingly it looks like my workshop has fire coming out of it

Oh, but if you click aerial over birds eye the picture is from 2001 or before as it shows one of the barns that burned down that year.
