Google states on its site that the frequency of the updates varies but they strive to update frequently. So I guess there is no fixed time, and of course it would depend on when its sources are updated too. Incidentally when I first checked out the google local site it seemed to think a New Zealander might want to know how to get pizza In Kansas- I think it might not be too edible when it got here, even if it got through the import checks :-)

Google mostly updates whenever there is a demand from the Media. For example, before the Bucky Phillips case, Chautauqua County, New York (where I live) was in extremely low resolution in Google Earth. Within 48 hours of the first news report, it had been updated to the highest possible resolution.

The area we are in has been updated once in 5 years and that's all. Still waiting for something new, like showing our house is built now LOL!!!

I checked my previous home town and it appears to be approximately 8 years out of date. Seriously. I've also checked out my current home town. It used to be low-res, but it was recently updated to fairly high-res. However the pictures are at least 4 years old. Some parts of Melbourne (Australia), however, such as Flemington, appear to be fairly recently updated. And by recent, I mean 2-3 years. It's slow. Very slow.
