Interestingly, almost all the places I've visited have now high resolution images. In April, I visited Antalya, Kemer and Pamukkale/Hierapolis in Turkey -- they all have high resolution images now. Before my trip, Kemer wasn't even marked on the map.

An unfortunate exception is Santorini in Greece, which still hasn't got any better resolution.

Krakatau hasn't been improved, either. Looks like the Bear Island between Norway and Spitsbergen isn't on the map at all, even though its place names are marked!

Most of the Main Island in Hawaii is now covered with high resolution images. Mauna Kea summit is also covered -- sadly there's a gap exactly where most of the telescopes are located. Half of one of the Keck telescopes is partly visible. I think the large telescope visible is Subaru Telescope.
