Google earth

[Appleyard]

Hi all... is there a way to find out the actual date that a particular image was made,not just the year?

 

[Boathook]

I didn't realise that even the year could be found out. Must have another look sometime.

There was a thread the other week about using google earth to navigate by and an example of some where the photo was so old it didn't show the marina at all. The copyright date on the photo was 2005. Don't know if that's what you're going by, but it appears the sat photos can be very old in some cases

The up to date pics of Gosport Marina and area were pulled and replaced by some much older; I wonder if its intentional or just an error.

 

[Appleyard]

That's the reason I asked the original question (not Gosport but somewhere else) was replaced by an older pic. So Can anybody answer my query???

Thanks Brendan..One more query..the Google earth page is too "tall" for my screen & I can't see the bottom of the page. I have tried to fix this..no luck can you help? Thanks again

 

[BrendanS]

click the full size icon at top right of screen, next to the X close button, and it should resize to fit your screen

It's a patchwork of various images taken over years and not a one off survey (not actually satellite imagery either), useful if you want to sail in a major city centre though

It's a mix of images, and they've never claimed it wasn't a mosaic, so not sure I understand you comment?

 

[Appleyard]

Hi Brendan...I have tried that already..but it is still too "tall" any help appreciated.. Cheers

 

[BrendanS]

what happens if you grab the bottom edge and rezize. Have you tried going to view, view size in the menu and trying some of the different size settings?

 

[Appleyard]

The problem is that the bottom edge is out of reach ie below the bottom of my screen. Will try your second suggestion and let you know how it goes. Thanks again

 

[BrendanS]

What screen size are you using. Physical size and pixels. and which version of GE

I haven't seen this issue on any of the computers I've used it on, and can't reproduce it so far.

 

[Swanrad2]

Sorry it took a while to come back, the way the software is structured suggests a satellite survey (i.e. zoom in from space), know they didn't suggest it was anything other than a patchwork but to those who don't know they could think it was recent satellite imagery.

surely no one is that naive? ages of pics have been discussed on the forums many many times, but surely no one expects that it is days old imagery?
