For the past week my Google 3D tiles seem to be out of date, giving me data from 10+ years ago. I’m working on a region of the Gold Coast in Australia which has significantly changed over the past 10 years, meaning it’s basically useless to me in its current 10-year-old state.
The specific location I’m looking to use is: 27°59’27.8"S 153°25’47.6"E
(At this location you can see a building mid construction. It opened for business in 2016, so it’s definitely out of date)
Has this happened to anyone else? Anyway for me to use archived data rather than live?
Literally anything will help!
Cheers!
There recently has been a similar report at Cesium showing outdated google maps imagery - you might want to have a look at the answer by @azrogers there.
But based on your description, I have to ask: It sounds like you previously received more recent data, and now you are receiving outdated data - is that correct?
If this is the case, then that’s certainly unusual. There may be certain phases when Google is updating the data (which may lead to anachonistic tiles being displayed), but I’d expect the data to always and only be replaced with more recent data, and not with older data. But in general, Cesium does not have any control over the 3D Tiles data that is delivered by Google, and I’m not aware of a mechanism for accessing older versions of the Google data.
Hi! Thanks for the reply. Yes, I was using cesium in the same area a week prior and was experiencing up-to-date data. Then opened it up last Friday and it was old data. I’ve also looked at the 3D webApp suggested in the linked post. It also shows out of date data. For now I have an arduous workaround of cutting out section and remodelling them, but man it’s adding a lot of time to this project.
It’s a shame but yeah, I understand we’re at the whim of Google.
