Hey my firends, i have had a simple but a pretty cool idea, why we don't start to add with our photo also the location of the shot with google earth?
Check the comment of my photo Giotto to understand.
For who don't have the program of Google Earth can make the free donwload
( NOW also available for MAC )

Not a bad idea Pier, but I don't think alot of people will go to the trouble, honestly. I think everybody's so used to just saying in their desctiption, Florence, or London, or wherever. But if you can get it off the ground, good deal ! Good luck with your new suggestion !

I agree with Laurengary. I think it is a neat idea but I am wondering how complicated it would be? If it does succeed, good for you and a cool idea.I think only certain images should use this.

Yes, I like that idea! Not for all images of course but if something specila is posted I is worth going te extra mile, good idea!
Paul

Woohoo! I like the idea too. I'll try... :-))

I like this idea also i think it should go in a tech section under the photo.

That's cool...I like it!!

Another example here Rialto Location

Yes I like the idea a lot. And like Paul said, maybe for special photos..and places..I think it would be so interesting. Try it ok? let us know how to go about doing it in a bit more detail..

Great idea

Nice job Pierre........ look at Namid desert

Yes, but when I click on 'Google earth location', I just saw a snapshot, not a moving view like yours... :-(

Another try with Swiss alps. Yep! It works!!! :-)

Great Pierre i have sent an email with the instructionand if somebody needs help feel free to write me.

Look at this Barra do Jucù

Wonderful! Pier, you had a great idea!!! :-))

It's a good idea, but, honestly, I think the same as "laurengary" and "Mudpuppy" above.

What i like to do is to help as technical support who like this idea tand to try to have a specific directory browse. Really thank for your enthusiastic comments.

I think it's a terrific idea! It might not be that hard or too much trouble once you get used to it!

wicked idea as i've been wondering at some of the terrific images i see of places, where exactly are they etc. however, i'm yet to try/get to grips with Google earth. I will comply when i do :~)

It does sound like a good idea, but Google Earth has some pretty high overhead. It loads a lot of stuff onto your hard drive. I checked this morning (just before I uninstalled it), and it had put about twenty megabytes of stuff onto my computer, since I installed it.

Something you should know about Google Earth (beta)...
Google Earth is a broadband, 3D application that not all computers can run.

Thanks for doing my picture Alster Lake, I love it! Great idea!

Flying in Greece and arriving at The Parthenon

In German at Bridge to Mainz

Idaho State Capitol at Dry Days

What a strange world..... look at The Gherkin

Neat. Maybe instead we could set up a facility to tag google maps with the locations. That way it would be all together, and it would be on a platform that anyone can access without having to download software. It would of course require some setting up in the first place with the google API and the EZ code.

At a basic level, it would be possible to put google map links on image descriptions in any case but it would be even more cool to have a dedicated page for it where locations could be browsed en masse.

Yes Captain Hero now i find what i looking for....try to look at this Trekearth

Really emotionating shot at Richmond Bridge

Cool

Superb view on "Richmond Bridge", Pier :-)

I can have no opinion on this until they release a Mac version. Sorry. :c/

a release on OSX is iminent and if you search around on the net - beta versions are available for download.

Hi to all Mac users try to download here at MAC GE

@%&# blue screen of death again!!

Has anyone had any problems with thier PC crashing after closing Google Earth? I'm running Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2, IE 6 SP2 and Google Earth 3.0.0762 and I'm able to 'click' on a Google Earth location and view it, but, when I close Google Earth I get the blue screen of death and my PC restarts and all seems fine after that.

Just wanted to know if any others have had that happen. Maybe it's just user error on my part although I haven't a clue.

~sniff~

Strange... I've the same configuration (XP Pro + SP2 + GE 3.0.0762), but I'm using Mozilla Firfox 1.7.
I think you MUST abandon IE for Firefox, not only for Google Earth...

I do have that also...thanks, I'll give it a go. :)

Near Newcastle a dangerous shot.....Sunsett over the Tynemouth

From my town the Torino XX Olympic Winter Games and the Google Earth Olympic Locations.

The 20th Winter Games will be held in and around Torino Italy, from February 10, 2006 until February 26, 2006.

Are you going to attend in person? If not, attend virtually. Using Google Earth, you can see where the Villages, Venues, and Events are located. Enjoy the high resolution imagery of the cities and the mountains. See the ski jumps, snow boarding runs, alpine ski courses and much more.

Click on the attached placemark and turn on terrain, then zoom to your favorite event. Links are included within each description to find more information. Want to know when an event will be happening, the schedules can also be accessed.

Support your country's athletes and the winter games.
