Many areas of the world are still very fuzzy in Google Earth - including
Kent, SE England. Hardly the Third World, as the London to Paris High Speed

When are Google going to widen their close-up coverage?
What about the competition? http://maps.live.com/
As a quick test, it's easy to see that Ashford, Kent is much more detailed. You
can even see the London to Paris High Speed rails, but sadly not the Train.
Yes. In fact, after some initial searching I haven't found an area
that *doesn't* show high resolution with http://maps.live.com/
Now, if it only had Google's facility to automatically move through a
route or path, plus tilt, etc...
GE's mapping is baffling to me, with some areas high res and adjacent
ones low - even within the same apparent 'date zone' or whatever it's
called. For example my home is high res (although 9 or 10 years old),
but a few minutes walk away it's low.
And when viewed from 30-50 miles high, you can see what a quiltwork of
different photos the UK is made up from. But only from Google's
database...
