Gogle Earth Faqs
Why are images blurry?
Detailed flyover images by default are not enabled due to load time and file size considerations. You will find 2 sets of flyover images that differ in quality. Enable the set and that will make sense to your system configuration.
Why does the message “Invalid Image Format” appears when I am trying to load flyover image?
This image “Invalid Image format” is somewhat misleading. Google Earth checks your system resources. It also looks at the space that is available in its memory cache and then determines whether it is possible to show the image. In case your settings are set, in such a way, that Google Earth simply cannot load the information then it reports that you are loading an image that has an “Invalid Image Format”. To fix this problem ensure that your pc meets all system requirements.
