Google Earth’s Data and Imagery sets

Why does the images blurry up?

Check the streaming indicator if it has reached 100%. This indicator is displayed at the bottom of the image. 100% indicates that the image download is complete. In such a case, ideally you should be able to view the complete and clear image. However, if edge is blurred, it is possible that Google Earth may not be having high resolution data for that location.

Another reason which can give rise to this problem is that the images for some areas appear blurred or discolored, due to reasons like cloud cover, etc.

There are basic as well as advanced features of Google Earth. Once you install the software, the best option is to take the sight seeing tour. This is recommended as it gives a brief introduction of this software and shows how the images will look when you are flying. You will also be able to see previously created tours.

What are the features of Google Earth?

We are not the company "Google" which is a registered trademark. We are a non affiliated 3rd party who is providing no cost tips, advice and troubleshooting for various software included in the "Google Software Pack".

I highly recommend the Google Software Pack. It comes with a lot of great software that is all FREE. You can also pick and choose which of the software products you want to download. You don't have to download them all. If you have a Mac or you don't want the Google Software Pack for some reason you can download it directly from the main site.
