I also think this is a great idea. Thank you for sharing this information with us.

Latitude and Longitude settings are off. Put me in the north artic. I live in So. California

Are you sure you filled the form correctly? The form has Longitude first, then Latitude (which threw me off at first). Also, make sure you use a "-" sign for Longitude (for West longitude coordinates).

Nice idea and easy to use, but I have little idea as to how to use what is sent. How do I put code into MS Outlook as part of my signature? Does anyone know?

Great way to pinpoint far away family members. However I disagree where you have placed Smiggens Hole in Austarlia. It is a ski resort adjacent to Perisher Valley. Can you please check and correct.

Hi, thanks for comments. I just made some updates.
First an english version of the generator (hum... OK some language not so far from english!)

And I have changed latitude/longitude order, I agree it was really confusing.

I see that it would be nice to have some detailed examples how to use these links... will prepare something.

I also think this is a great idea. Thank you for sharing this information with us.

this may be off point but i would like to know why google earth does not have a full satelite shot of any area in my location

my location is LAGOS, NIGERIA

The Whitworth Inn is placed incorrectly on the Google Earth. How do I know this? because I live right across from it. It is placed near Paradise Point road when it should be placed across from Lake Run Dr.

In Flowery Branch, GA

Why are the pictures out of focus, even at 800 feet. How3 can this be corrected?

Tiruvalla Town in Kerala, India is not shown in Google earth photograph.
Please add Tiruvalla also.
Thanks

I cannot find the new Olympic Stadium in Beijing which is already completed for 2008 Olympics. Is it indicated on GE and how can i find it? Thank you!

Be cautious if you are using Google Earth for navigation on water - especially the Great Lakes, where water levels fluctuate dramatically, even over the course of a season. I discovered this the hard way when I used GE to find flat-water locations for speed sailing on Lake Huron. At about 30 miles an hour (per my GPS) I hit a shoal that wasn't supposed to be there, pitched forward into a rock, and (aside from nearly buying the farm) fractured my neck in two places. It turns out that the GE satellite photos were out of date, and the water on Lake Huron is 3 or 4 feet lower than shown in the photos. Memo to Google Earth: I'm probably not the only person who has used GE to identify shoals and other marine hazards for the purpose of safe navigation. You might want to consider your potential tort liability, and/or updating your photos more often - especially in areas like the Great Lakes where there is a combination of frequent water-level fluctuations and a high level of recreational or commercial boating.

The location of Guadalajara Costa Rica is inaccurate
How do I know? Because I live there and the proper location is at the very edge of the water of Lake Arenal's North West corner.
Please update yourself.
If you want proof, I can send you the local plotmap of Finca Guadalajara dating to 1947 the year Costa Rica annexed Guadalajara, Guanacaste.

My city, Ponta Grossa, in southern Brazil has been updated with new shots. But ufortunately some areas are somewhat pale and fogged. More, in the pictures borders or edges (where the old and new ones merge)there are a total confusion, the streets suddenly desapear or end in buildings of other streets. Theese are the GPS coordinates: 25º05'26.44" S - 50º09'54.44" W.
Can this problem be fixed?
Thank you in advance

I want you bugs to update the satellite picture of swan river, manitoba it would be highly appreciated, peace

I live in south Burlington,VT and you need too fix a address. When went for my job interview this morning,i was off by a couple miles. Since i was on foot(and left in plenty of time for the interview),i had too back track. I punched in the address: Addeco,30 kimball ave,south burlington,vt...i go too the address...no addeco. Somebody tells me it's WAY IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. Not EVEN CLOSE. So i was late of course. Please check this out..i'm sure you get all kinds of e-mail like this,so i understand one complaint at a time. Thank you.

I live in SIGNANO, Fivizzano Italy and you have my village as REGNANO. There is no such place in this area. Before I register with you perhaps you would correct this error.

I think there should be an option to hide the symbols that indicate pictures. In some places they cover up a large part of the screen.

How often is google earth update? Is it real time?

Is it possible to request for a place to be added on Google earth.
I would like to have maps of chengannur added...

For some reason the images of barbados and the caribbean are quite old. I would love if they could be updated.

thx

Since it is possible to get a gridded map of the earth, I'd like to know if it's possible to connect two arbitrarily chosen points on the earth's surface by a great circle in order to get the shortest distance between those two points(a geodetic line). It would also be of interest to get that line visible.
I think it can't be very complicated because it's the line of intersection of a plane passing the centre of the earth and the two points mentioned above and the surface of the earth.

@Peter Leitner: That's an easy one. Simply click on the "ruler" icon in Google Earth and click the starting and end point. The line measure the distance and shows you a great circle line. Since Google Earth is a 3D globe, any line drawn on the surface is a great circle line.

@Frank Taylor: Thanks a lot for the explanation.
That works excellent. But, may I ask you some other questions? Is it also possible to do that with the geographical coordinates of the starting and end point? And could one get also other measurements, such as angles between the drawn great circle and an intersecting meridian or so?
I'd be much obliged if you could answer me that too.
Many thanks,
Leitner

I live in Graz, Austria and I wonder why there aren't satellite shots of this town available on Google Earth, because there are ones of smaller towns e.g. Klagenfurt and Villach in the neigh- bouring province Carinthia. Could that be updated, please.
Thanks in advance, Leitner

Is it possible for an area to be updated. I am building a house in the Philippines and would love to be able to see my house shown on your system. The co ordinates are...... 13deg 31'14.71deg N
120deg 58'58.73deg E.

Many thanks, Steve Bowles

The idea of viewing google earth is to see the actual structure as it is.

But the purpose is denied by imposing picture camaras on the site.

I can go to a book store and buy picture books of the structures I am interested.

Also, I like to see better resolution in a larger scale sat image.
