Get Google Earth Offline, well almost
One of the best features of Google earth is its flexibility (for what?). Google Earth is available in most countries and is present in most major cities across the world. The most amazing feature must be however that your favorite pictorial graphical software is now available even when the internet is not available, even when you are offline. Google’s cache files stores imagery and other required data on your hard drive, so that the existence of internet does not arise. The user thus enjoys a rich experience when the user has a broadband connection, but this is the secret behind to offline Google Earth use.
Using this cache enables the user to use Google Earth anywhere, anytime .You may be on an African safari, may be tanning on a beach or even hiking on Mt. Everest. You can avail all facilities like the aerial/satellite imagery, the 3D terrain, and more. You have to take your computer or as a matter of face your iPhone to a place a place where no internet connection is available. If you want to find the height of the terrain for example or the weather predictions for the day, Google Earth is available. It’s perfect when you want to give a presentation in a place without an internet connection. You will need to do a little preparation first.
There are always two options which say ‘clear memory cache’ and ‘clear disc cache’ to enable the user to clear off the required space. The user has to follow these simple directions. First, go to the menu item Tools- options and select the "Cache" tab. This cache is viewable without changing the memory cache. The memory cache is set automatically and is solely based on the system’s memory. The maximum disk cache size can be extended to 2000 Mb (or 2 GB). This will give you more data to work with. Then, you need to move to the area you want data for and zoom into that area. It is important to zoom in as closely as possible for you to see the images clearly. Turn on other layers for information you want cached (for example, 'Terrain', 'Rivers' and '
The more data you cache the more it will fill your cache space. On long trips only use those areas as that requires viewing, in high resolution. If you need only imagery try avoiding other layers. It can be highly painful to capture imageries of an area at high resolution. The Google Earth offline capability can be really useful. There are still many places without broadband or even cell phone connectivity. But, Google Earth can still work even in those remote places. Isn’t that amazing?
