No street view of where I live, I can't find this menu for ocean view either. I have earth, sky, mars. I tried to search "ocean" but only got towns with ocean in the name.

I can't even zoom on my town, it just gets fuzzy......... :( I wanted to see my yard, it's a warm weather photo, I miss my flowers........

They don't have zoom imagery for this region. Good to know, nobody zooming in on the plants I intend to hide in the back yard this summer.

Got the ocean thing figured out finally, I couldn't see the layers box because the locations box was too long. I was getting kind of pissed there for a second, bongsmilie......chillin, chillin, chillin........ :mrgreen:

Yes, I just downloaded the new one last night. I knew my house would be in a location that you couldn't zoom. I just wanted to be sure.

Looks like the new 5.0 version has lower resolution than the older version. I am looking at a couple of places that used to be really detailed and that is no longer the case.

prolly cuz they added more stuff and chose to sacrifice res. I still say google maps is the best for seeing houses etc.. google earth is just cool as hell how u can see the whole planet and zoom in w/out stopping.. But for local stuff at high res google maps is still best.

JAT, yes on the Google maps. You can get a street level view of most homes that is photo quality. I even found abandoned shops and things I used to see in the midwest that have been photo'd on there. Blows me away how much of the country that they are used.
