| I'd like to know if there is a way to accurately have the globe in Google Earth rotate about its actual axis... | podboq | 11/3/09 11:17 AM | I'd like to know if there is a way to orient the globe in Google Earth as from a relatively fixed point in space, to 23 degrees from the plane of the solar system, and to accurately rotate the earth about its own axis, instead of the way GE moves and |

But it would be relatively easy to implement with the Earth APIhttp://http://code.google.com/apis/earth/ |

An accurate representation of the earth sounds like a reasonable request to me...I'm finding it rather odd that it's not IN the code and obvious already... |

Anyone know how i can get the developers attention on the matter? |

It does seem like a fundamental thing that GE should be able to do, so I'd be very interested to learn if you solved it yet. cheers, Ivan |

It'd be great if someone would take it as a project... give us the ability to push 'play' and see the Earth rotate upon its own natural axis, in real-time, and in increments 2x, 3x, 4x, etc... |
| Re: I'd like to know if there is a way to accurately have the globe in Google Earth rotate about its actual axis... | LandisTwo | 6/18/12 3:30 AM | i agree.. i've tried everything.. it seems it would be a simple and common sense feature, but as usual, google is 'half ass' with what it does. |
