I only know of mapquest, google maps and yahoo maps. Each of these shows different satellite pics. Does anyone know which has the most recent pictures. Thank you.

Bing (bing.com/maps), Google (google.com/maps) and Yahoo (yahoo.com/maps) don't take the satellite pictures. Virtual Earth and Google Earth are just technologies used to view the maps/images. Google gets their images from TerraMetric (terrametrics.com). Bing/Microsoft gets there images from NASA (nasa.gov). Yahoo gets there maps from Nokia who gets them from DigitalGlobe (digitalglobe.com). However the most up to date viewable images I could find where at TerraServer (terraserver.com).
