| Earth 7 update - PC | Daniel.M | 10/31/12 11:43 AM | Hi Everyone, Today we released Google Earth 7 for Desktop. This new build comes with complete, immersive 3D maps of select metro areas and preloaded tours and placemarks that allow you to fly throughout landmarks around the world. If you have any f |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ACarvalho | 10/31/12 4:19 PM | Hi Daniel, Although the new 3D imagery looks promising (I do recall that this is a beta), most buildings have awkward shapes visible as soon as you descend below 500m (at least in San Francisco and Rome). But my main concern right now is that you co |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | Terralex | 10/31/12 7:12 PM | Hi ACarvalho, Given your use case I'd suggest that you revert to legacy 3D buildings and then turn off the 3D buildings layer. This will leave you with only Terrain and no new 3D imagery that might impair performance. If you have access to Google Ea |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ACarvalho | 11/1/12 7:46 AM | Hi Alex, Actually my best option is to revert back to 6.2 or even 6.1 (as 6.2 has font issues and the graphics problems when zoomed out with some cards). Going Pro is not an option and the reason "since terrain is a standalone layer" is a bit insul |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ste_k | 11/2/12 6:57 AM | Hi Yesterday I updated GE from 6.22 to 7.0 on my home-pc Win7 HP 64-bit. Runs smoth. Today I did it on WinXP Pro, 32-bit at work. GE starts, when loading the globe and myspaces, a BSOD happens. Everytime. So I uninstalled GE 7.0. When uninstalling t |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | Daniel.M | 11/2/12 9:30 AM | Hi ste_k, With a bit more information we can further investigate the issue: - What are the graphics card configurations of the two machines? - On the 32-bit, are you running the latest drivers for your graphics card? - What system language are the |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | Sylvain M... | 11/2/12 9:34 AM | Hi Google Earth 7.0.1.8244 seems faster, especially its launch, than the previous one (Win7 Pro x64, Radeon HD 6850).But I find so annoying to have to press R whenever I double-click on a folder or placemark, and I can't find how to disable this incl |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ACarvalho | 11/2/12 9:50 AM | Hi Sylvain, GE7 automatically tilts when zooming close to the ground (it was possible to enable it also in previous versions), but you can go to the options, "Navigation", and select "Do not automatically tilt while zooming". It should solve that is |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | Sylvain M... | 11/2/12 10:05 AM | Sorry, thank you for your answer, but I think I missed details.I have disabled the tilt when zooming.For example:1- Create an arbitrary polygon (set at least 3 points),2- Click "OK" (finish editing the polygon),3- Double-click it in the left column.= |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ste_k | 11/2/12 10:40 AM | Hi Daniel Because of the weekend I can give you just one answer right now: both system languages are German. About the graphics card configuration of the 32-bit WinXP I can give you more on Monday. Any specific settings to look for? About the grap |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ACarvalho | 11/2/12 10:50 AM | Hi Ste, Have you tried to start GE in both OpenGL and DirectX modes? If you do CAD, probably your card works best in OpenGL. Here are GE7 requirements: http://support.google.com/earth/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=20701 Regarding the blocks, I got the |

| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ACarvalho | 11/2/12 11:12 AM | Sylvain, I tried to recreate your issue, and the same happened to me. The polygon gets created, but then assumes a standard tilted view. Checking the KML, I see that it is missing the "LookAt" section, which defines the view and tilt (and is created |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ste_k | 11/3/12 4:07 AM | Hi ACarvalho Since I got a bluescreen rihgt at loading of GE it's kind of difficult to change about anything inside GE settings (e.g. change from DirectX to OpenGL or what ever). ste_k |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ACarvalho | 11/3/12 5:34 AM | Hi ste_k You can change the display mode by using the links in the Start Menu. Upon install, a Google Earth folder is created there with 4 links: - Uninstall Google Earth (obviously not this one) - Google Earth (the usual link that uses whatever mod |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ste_k | 11/5/12 7:33 AM | To Daniel: OK, I was able to solve the probleme today. It was indeed the outdated driver of my graphics card. I never expected that one, because I never had any graphical problems so far. With the latest driver the bluescreens are gone. Thanks for yo |

| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | dxky | 11/7/12 7:19 AM | Hi ACarvalho, I like to know how to rollback from ver 7 to ver 6.2. I experience problem after upgraded to ver7. Thanks Dex |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ACarvalho | 11/7/12 7:24 AM | Hi Dex To download it from Google, go to: http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html Uncheck "Include Google Chrome" and select "Advanced Setup". That way you can get the 6.2 stable release installer (don't include the updater and select |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | dxky | 11/7/12 7:49 AM | Hi ACarvalho, Thank you so much for your prompt advice. I reinstalled ver. 6.2, it works perfectly. You saved the day. Thanks Dex |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | BeadieJay | 11/7/12 1:11 PM | Actually, it's always best to use the official source for downloading any version of Google Earth. You can download previous versions at the direct download page here |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ACarvalho | 11/7/12 2:00 PM | You are absolutely right, BeadieJay. That's why I linked to the standard download page first. I thank you also for your link, as I didn't knew it (as I usually keep a few stable versions on my PC). I have used Filehippo for years now, and it never l |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | ACarvalho | 11/7/12 3:52 PM | Dex, I just tested GE7 on my older netbook, which has Intel 945 Express graphics, and the same grey patches appeared in Street View. While loading the imagery they just jump like crazy across the screen, but remain still when it completes loading. E |
| Re: Earth 7 update - PC | dxky | 11/7/12 6:19 PM | Hi ACarvalho, Thank you for doing further test. It is really good that you could repeat the same bug in your old netbook (the annoying grey patches), so I am not the only one having this problem. Hope they will fix all these bugs soon. Dex |
