Latest Google Earth

13 years ago

I want to put the latest Google Earth on Ipad.
Each time I think I am finding the right app, it says
'Download in Documents 2or Dropbox?'
Nothing is ever there!
The one that I did download, said 'play now', as if it was music??
Where can I find something not complicated for Ipad?
Thx

As you mentioned in your other thread, device specific minutiae is best pursued in the user guide, dedicated product forums, or by contacting the manufacturer's tech support service.

Since Google maps have been around I have never found the need to clutter up my hard drive with a large program like Google Earth. I am sure I get the same presentation with Maps as I did with Earth.

I do as Owbist mentioned, I use google maps and the street view options. I think the results of both are likely about the same age. for a different view and possibly more recent try the one by microsoft, for me it shows very different views than what I see on google. Was called microsoft virtual earth now called bing maps, you can just google that. When searching for homes to buy I used all of them. you should also take a look at flash earth it lets you switch between several of them including google earth and microsoft virtual earth Flash Earth Viewer

Google Earth Help: Viewing My Roof

This kind of technology is going to be great--someday. The lack of focus makes it seems like a bad camera. Just a tweak here and there and it will be great--but not there yet. Well, I can see that I have two things besides the chimney poking out of the roof, but I can't tell what they are. Just a wee bit more focus to the zoom would help!! I sure hope one is the vent stack (we've got a bit of trouble with sewer smell in this old house (new to us) and are trying to trace the source. At least it is hopeful now that the vent pipe is actually piped to the outside).

Have you downloaded Google Chrome? The Google Earth website says it is required to run the new GE. On the GE website they have Earth for Chrome and they have Older Versions. Perhaps yours "upgraded" to a version that only works with Chrome. Or, have you kept up to date with the Windows 7 updates? Rather than resetting the computer back in time, you might check for updates and run those first. I've always had GE Pro and it is working for me. I have version 7.1.5.1557 built on 5/20/2015. Another place to download Google Earth is https://ninite.com/. I believe it gives you the non-pro version in a neat package. Run their package and the software is installed without you having to deal with any junk attached. I use Ninite for lots of hassle-free free software. What do you use Google Earth for? I am a local content creator for GE, so I am interested in how people use it. Here is a picture of what I do...I create the land ownership parcel lines and export the information as a Google Earth overlay file with internal links to other information.

Iris...last night I was up to really late doing this. I had done it years ago but forgot so did my house and found that it featured the whole length of the side and very little of the front. It's on a corner lot on three city lots The side street view was about three years old because my neighbor's house was for sale and our picket fence needed to be repaired. So the camera went up the alley behind my house. When it went to the main street it passed my house with two flags hanging out front..one on the porch and one on a pole. So this shot was three years ago because I took the one flag down. However, when I put the arrow down the street, there was only one flag and a historical plaque which was put in front of the house less than a year ago. So weird. I went to my childhood home which was a lovely 1850 clapboard house with dark green louvered shutters. Now it a big ugly white aluminum box. I went to my parents' house where the other half of my childhood was spent and it's not looking nearly as nice as when the parents had it. But the house I really wanted to see was first house we owned when we were in our early 20's and had babies. I can't get on the street. When I type in the address it goes to the street where there is a sign for my street but it won't let you go down it. I can see the stone chimney from the other street and that's it. Disappointing.

"I am sure I get the same presentation with Maps as I did with Earth."

You don't use Earth but you're certain it's the same as Maps?

Countless images available in Earth are simply stunning. Maps is just maps. Very useful, especially with Streetview, but essentially just maps. The two are integrated - Earth is Maps and much more.

Earth's storage space requirements are modest. Any PC that doesn't have room for it needs a serious cleaning.

Yes, thanks for reminding me of all the beauty of Google Earth Snidely. I had forgotten that part as I rarely used it.

A perfect example of how we assume things from our own perspective, I need to mend my ways ;~)

Search using Bing: "Google Earth on Ipad" = 46.7 million hits.

--- And one doesn't have to love or hate Google or Earth, the company just continues to collect your information.

All websites "collect information", most especially search sites. Surfing and activity data is analyzed at macro levels for market and buying trends, demographics, ad sales and ad placement, etc.

Don't flatter yourself into thinking someone's dying to find out all about you personally, it isn't the case. There's no conspiracy, and "They" couldn't give a shoot about you.

As usual, you are about 1/2 awake.
