Google Earth

[TerryW]

I have been away for a week and I am just catching up on "things". I know I am a bit sad with my love of maps, but if you haven't seen the latest Google Earth, have a look as soon as you can. The detail of half of the Island is now in High Definition, especially Corfu Town.

Unfortunately the west side of the island has not yet been updated so Arilla is still a blur, but I would imagine this will change in the next release within the next six months.

Here is an example, showing the Airport.

Hi Terry

Been anywhere nice?

Just had a look on Google Earth again - found this a couple of months ago.  It doesn't seem to be up to date as everytime I look the same cars are parked outside my house and they are cars that we haven't got any more!

I did go somewhere nice Shuey, but not something that was planned. We went to my oldest sons house in Shropshire to help with some jobs. It was nice to help and lovely to spend time with the three grand children.

Very nice spending quality time with family.  I thought you hadn't been around for a few days.

Hi Sharon,

Go to your Desktop > right click > select Properties > choose the Settings Tab.

You will see a screen like this



Move the slider control to a higher setting, possibly 1024 x 768.

It could be that your PC doesn't have a Graphic Card that will give the higher resolution, in which case tell the boss that you need a new one.
