Google Earth (NOT HAPPY JAN!)

Hi
So, are you saying you can access ALL of GE with NO internet connection?

Just double checked Lyndon. Looks like it is hit and miss. Some areas I can zoom right down to a clear street scene and yet others I cannot.

Hi Peter

Yeah, I hear they changed something last year. I now have SAS Planet. It's really going to take some head scratching to work this one out. Seems like a pretty amazing program as to what you can "grab" with it though.
Cheers

When you look at Google earth images they are all cached on your computer.
So if you want to go into a remote area and use GE , before you go, whilst you have internet, look at all the areas of interest, zoom right in and all these will be cached on your computer, and you can look at them offline, I do this and it works fine.
Just be careful with programs like AVG which offer to clean and speed up your computer, it can identify these files as junk and remove them.

Thanks mate, Sounds good, but really only for a day trip or maybe a weekend. No real use for longer trips, where you aren't exactly sure where you want to go and just want a general area. Then there is the very real risk that they could just "disappear" right when you might need them. I'll keep working on it.
Cheers
