Wow. Saw my house. Wild. How often is it updated?

According to the help contents, all the existing maps are approximatly 1 year old. For some other isolated regions it's up to 2 years old.
From what I can tell, it appears to be updated as satellite information is updated. EG: if someone requests a satellite image of a certain location, the database is updated. I'm only assuming because I notice that farming states/provinces are nearly all high res pics, which would make sense because of farming requests for satellite imagry.
I'm also basing this information on the fact that my home town (Terrace, BC, Canada) has one half at high resolution while the other half is low, and I know for a fact that there was a satellite image request for this strip of land that is high res by a prospecting company about a year ago who was looking at potential gold mining operations.
I love this program.
