Hi
I find Bing to have much clearer and sharper and more updated views than google earth over Clacton and Essex region.
Have a look and check out your street from above see what's best?
Though Google is better for street view.

please don't answer for me
ok, i will do
That is just awful
Something like googles maps with decent maps from OS would win

Google Maps are next to useless in rural areas and are quite shockingly lacking in detail.
Bing has OS maps, just change the drop down (and you have to be quite zoomed in for the detail to show.)
Bing birds eye also sometimes has clearer shots as you rotate round, so if the first view isn't that clear, try spinning it.
Streetview is fantastic for what it is and so is Bing - one that combined both would be the winner!
Still says from 2006 on google its now 2014.
Will the satellite images ever be updated?
Google's the clearest when I zoom into buildings and what not in my area. Bing's satellite image of my area is too grainy when I zoom in at the same distance as I do with Google maps. I'm looking forward to the next generation of satellite images that's supposed to be being used by Google and Microsoft when they get allowed access to a much better satellite. For now though, for me, Google is the clear winner. In my opinion, Google's superior with Street View as well. The detail in street view is much better with Google than it is with Microsoft. The images in Microsoft's street view look a bit patchy in places whereas with Google's Street View images, they look more detailed.
