The official answers to Google’s puzzle

Google has released the official answers to their little quiz from a few days ago, and we only missed one: “An historic state capitaol building is now in high res”. We went with Frankfort, KY after Virtual Globetrotting made a smart observation that talked us out of the correct answer, which was Charleston, WV.

Google also released the full list of updated areas. A cursory glance seems to indicate that they’ve pushed the update out to Google Maps as well, but I haven’t seen an official announcement. The updated areas are:
