From Jan of Portofino....

The pictures from Google Maps / Earth have been updated from Las Terrazas all the way to Mexico. I think the pictures were taken in 2010 before Hurricane Richard (because that one moved our breach tree), in the morning between 9 and 11am.

...it's odd that some places (like Coco Beach for example) are not even on there... lot's of different time periods stitched together it seems. The detail of the neighborhood up here is pretty cool though!

...looking closer, from Journey's End south to the bridge has to be 5-10 years old....

Check of Grand Belize Estates and the East West Road!
That looks fairly current.

check out the time slider(clock icon on top toolbar) you can shift back the images in time.

the date of the photo is usually in the lower left corner

yes but the time slide you can slide the date back to 2003 may and see what it looked like then.

The 2003 image is actually taken in January 2001, after Keith. You can see by the stage of construction of different resorts.

Wow on the updated version you can see the road all the way up to Blue Reef!

If you don't have Google Earth 6 its worth the download
