Dark patch on satellite map

[cadone]

In satellite view, I see a dark patch on satellite view in certain areas.

Do any of you guys see?

Different areas are photographed at different times, sometimes months or even years apart, so it's changes in lighting and conditions or vegetation etc. on the ground.

I haven’t seen that but just noticed on a recent trip that areas we were driving towards, just coming into view, were wavy. These were areas with lots of detail (city streets viewed from a distance) - looked like the refresh rate couldn’t keep up or something. Hadn’t noticed that previously.
