If you’re close, details are astonishing in some places, in some others they do not show improvements.
I frequently fly in South America, and the Andes aren’t much better than 2020, neither the cities (except the ones that got specific coverage, like Rio de Janeiro in Brazil).
For example, Medellin has some iconic places which are actually landmarks for VFR procedures and they were not there. The Coltejer bulding is an example:
This building, Coltejer, was absent in 2020, and it’s absent in 2020.
This is the obelisc in Buenos Aires, absent in 2020, and in 2024 too.
This is mount Fitz Roy in Southern Patagonia, Argentina. Absent in 2020 (just a bunch of polygons vaguely resembling the figure), and somewhat improved but still the same “idea of that mountain” instead of the actual mountain in 2024.
There’s a lot of contrast between regions, because some other places are extremely detailed, but a lot aren’t. Also, as soon as you put some distance all detail is lost. Get to 5000ft AGL and, with a few regional exceptions, detail is worse than in 2020 sadly (known issue).
