2167 Who is in high res on google earth?

Hi i am having a real problem trying to download google earth, I am using windows 2000, have tried several times, but dont seem to be getting anywhere, can anyone advise me,? thankyou, Francesca:confused:

You can only get it on broadband - if that helps

On the download section of Google earth I noticed this

"Google Earth is a broadband, 3D application that not all computers can run.

1. Apple Macintosh computers are not supported at this time (but we are working on it).

2. Windows-based desktop PCs older than 4 years old may not be able to run it.

3. Windows-based notebook PCs older than 2 years old may not be able to run it."

I think this may be why I am unable to download Google Earth even though I have broadband.

Sadly the real thing is not yet available for us Mac users. However, you can select map from the Google options page - click on satellite and then navigate your way from England to Italy. Certainly in Liguria a huge stretch along the coast and into the primi collini is available in great detail.

Does anyone think that Luni & Liguria are hi-res due to La Spezia? I get the suspicion that the need for hi-res satellite images of a naval port & centre of underwater weapons research may have bumped it up the list!

oh - I am so innocent

....... maybe I'm just a cynical old f@rt!

I think your right about areas of military interest being more covered, Sardinia has a number of US and NATO military bases and a missile testing ground unfortunately and most of the island is hires. See if you can spot my beach / diving bookmarks on the south coast.

I found a really interesting spot of Highres in the middle of the north african desert (Just one red square) see if you can find it.

I just love some of the bookmark comments people make.
