For f1(1_fJ117 see is downloaded from Google Earth servers directly. You are not controlling any satellite or receiving any information from it directly. What you see is the result of pictures clicked by satellites.

Therefore, if some areas have better resolution and detail, it's simply because satellite coverage of that area has been better. So if you want to see your hometown in better resolution, you'll just have to wait till that region is covered by the satellite, which could take some weeks-or months.

Naturally, Google has better images of the United States than other countries currently. Because the images come from a variety of sources, and is joined together as a mosaic, it is impossible to determine just when a region was shot. A single city could take several months to cover. Go to earth.google.com/data.html to see regions that are covered in detail.
