Hi Ronnie -- -- I did have 3D View "True Color (32 bit)" set. Anisotropic Filtering was not on high, I did reset to that, no difference.
-- Thanks for the <http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/google_earth_tips/> reference. Using some suggestions there, I did try 'Historical Imagery' at various dates, also with no improvement. But selecting 'View in Google Maps' did give the correct image! Can anything be worked out from that? -- I'm using an iMac with 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and 10.5.7. Cheers -- David Noel ========== From: Ronda Brown <[email protected]> Re: Google Earth going black Type: Text Hi David, In Google Earth > Preferences, do you have 3D View "True Color (32 bit)" - Anisotropic Filtering "High" selected? Google have released a new imagery update for Google Earth. <http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/google_earth_tips/> What computer & OS are you using. It might have something to do with your Graphics card?
