The latest Google Earth pictures of Tobago have improved immensely, particularly the south-western side of Tobago. The resolution is excellent, the clods from the earlier version have disappeared. The hi-res area starts on a boundary line from Ministers Bay on the south coast, to King Peters Bay on the north coastr, and everything to the west of that line, back towards Crown Point. Unfortunately, Google Earth has not yet upgraded the central part of Tobago, which includes Castara, Englishman's Bay and Parlatuvier, and the north-eastern side including Speyside, Charlotteville and Pirates Bay is almost totally obscured by cloud. But at least you can now do a virtual flyover of the south-western side from an imaginary height of as low as 200 meters. At that height you can clearly make out individual buildings and cars, but not people. I was able to date the images of the south western side to be from about 3 years ago.
It's quite fascinating and gives you a totally different perspective of the island. Hopefully over time, the other parts of Tobago will be rendered with better imagery.
Have fun with your flyovers!
