The source of this list is Google Earth itself. Verification can be achieved by simply checking out the area in GE. This list was often the best way to keep track of new updates because it was crowdsourced. There is no way in Google Earth to see which areas are updated aside from zooming all the way in. I suggest making it its own article. Apple maps has a similar section as well for its flyover feature. This list showed is relevant for comparing apple maps and Google Earth's 3d building coverage.[[User:Belmaktor|Belmaktor]] ([[User talk:Belmaktor|talk]]) 14:13, 23 October 2015 (UTC) |

ASTER data

Problems with Wikipedia and Panoramio integration section
First, it should be clear that Google Earth is integrated only with English Wikipedia. 2nd, the plug for Wikipedia-World does not seem appopriate, given this project is likely not notable, and as far as I can tell, not very really functional (as in - it's not incorporated into Google Earth soft, is it?). One ref is to the said de wikipedia page, another one to a somebody's (creator?) homepage [1]. This de wiki project may be linked from external links, but I think it fails notability criteria to be mentioned in text. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:02, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Buildings in 3D
Hartford, Connecticut, US New Britain, CT, US Middletown, Connecticut, US — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:CDA0:4680:8FD:C2F0:6543:EED7 (talk) 20:16, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
List of cities and towns in 3D
I think it is becoming too big, that it needs it's own article page for it. Georgij Michaliutin (talk) 02:50, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'd remove the list altogether. Some areas include dozens and dozens of towns, most of which aren't included yet. Trying to cover this in an article would be extremely time-consuming and in my opinion pointless (a user would rather check on Google Earth by themselves rather than check an incredibly huge and likely outdated list). 88.27.80.252 (talk) 23:59, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
- Why adding towns that lay close to the big city that are covered together? In my opinion it is better to just name a big city that is in the center of 3D mesh. – Georgij Michaliutin (talk) 11:47, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
Please move 3D locations list to separate article.-71.174.180.207 (talk) 19:21, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
