Join the US military and work your way to the top?

Or pay the tens of thousands required for china or someone to take pics for you?

Apart from that google-earth is about as current as you'll get (as far as i'm aware of)

Is this a personal "I just want it" reason or for something more serious

I was of the understanding that you can get professional aerial photos completed and there are records of some sort somewhere.

I checked Google Earth last week and it has been updated. Usually your local council has aerial photos they use to check on unauthorised buildings etc. You could always try the Bureau Of Meteorology website. They have satellite images updated every few hours.

Here’s a link. http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/satellite/

Try the World Wind by NASA.

Its similar to Google Earth, but I';m guessing it will be more up to date.

the new BETA4 by google earth is pretty good. They have upset a few defence organisation by not blurring out sensitive sites. In fact they seem to have cleared them up. But you wont get better than this in a comercial sence.
