Not on Google Maps yet, but only a matter of time

I was doing some reading on how and when Google Maps updates their satellite images, because I was curious when our new home would be visible.  As it would turn out the process is kinda of mystery. What I did discover was that the images only get captured on so may days of the year as a satellite taking imagery isn't always overhead, which makes sense. The other major factor is the weather on those days, doesn't do any good for Google to update its map with a cloudy days images. With all this research I went to some other satellite companies websites and I discovered this little screen shot of an image I hope gets updated to Google soon... our house, or at least the neighborhood it will be in.
