What's up with Google Earth?

[Grumpy John]

I've just noticed that the pictures are not matching up with the locations that they're attached to. It's happening on both my desktop PC and my laptop.

GJ, just checked out a few of my favourite spots and they all seem to be where they are supposed to be.

Try ckicking on a camera icon and see if the image matches the location.

If I click on the camera icon at Agnes Falls in the lower right of Victoria I get images for a tropical island, definitely not Victoria :no:.

No photos registered anywhere near me but I've just noticed how rusty the roof is on the shed ...

I don't have an explanation, but I've noticed the problem for quite a while now.

I've had a similar problem where a variety of web providers - including Google - get my location wrong. I suspect it had to do with the ISP's routing giving my location as the point where the data packets leave their network & go into the public network, which in turn confuses the target system.

Of course, there are a number of complete dunces in the US, some of whom continue to think that anyone south of the Rio Grande speaks Spanish, or that Australia is a small landlocked country in the middle of Europe - it seems that 'No kangaroos here' t-shirts are a popular tourist item in Vienna too.

It seems to be working now, but very slow to generate picture.

Hi John & Others,
Tried my Address earlier today, but no cameras, but Location was actually better than before.
I also noticed that the Photo was done earlier in 2012, against, I think 2009.

Try nearmap (http://www.nearmap.com/) it is much more up to date than Google Earth,
