Please Keep that in mind when you contact our support. We at wolfSYS do not make satellite pictures. All map data are retrieved from Microsoft Bing Maps. The quality of the satellite images may vary from region to region. The "Street View" menu item will only be visible when Streetside View is available for your current location. Streetside View is not available for any city and/or any street, although the numbers of available locations are constantly rising. If there is no real 3D data available for the specific Location then a 2.5D view ("flat") will be used. The real 3D "object" view is available for more than 200 locations worldwide. For routing and navigation, pleaseĬonsider using the Microsoft "Map" app or other apps. The intention of this app is to view cool places on this earth choose from the list of available 3D LocationsĮarth View - Map 3D is not another map for routing and navigation. To move around, point your cursor in the direction you. Tip: Historic imagery might not be available for every place that has Street View. To exit Street View, go to the top left and click Back. share your places on Facebook and Twitter At the bottom, scroll through the thumbnail gallery to go further back in time. organize the places you like in the "MyPlaces" collection. view cool places on that earth like never before! I use Google Earth quite a bit with farm-related stuff and planning trips and looking at inaccessible (from public roads) agricultural areas, and this seems to work well for me.Walk the streets in many cities with street view! anyway, slide the cursor around the ring a bit and click it and hold a second and you can realign "north" with the top of the window.Īt least, that's how I do it. the picture should always have north at the top IMHO. You'll know when the view is exactly straight down, because the picture will start to rotate as if you were wanting to turn the "north" compass point to either the "east" or "west" position. Of course as soon as you zoom in or out, it slowly starts slewing back to their preferred oblique angle, so you have to periodically re-do this to keep the view more or less straight down. make sense? To make sure that the view is straight down, you have to click on the little "ring" up in the corner near the bottom of the ring, and you'll see the viewing angle gradually changing, looking more and more straight downward at the ground, rather than at some weird angle which accentuates the 3D effect. As you zoom in and out on various things, the view gradually changes to more of an oblique view, as if you were looking out the window of an airplane at about a 45 degree angle, to something off in the distance instead of looking at something directly below the airplane. Obviously they've never heard of the KISS principle.Īt any rate, the best "fix" for it is to continuously make sure that the view is actually STRAIGHT DOWN. another one of those "features" that in reality is more of a "bug" but some eager-beaver nitwit somewhere thinks "it's cool" and thus sets it up to work that way. hence when you look a bridge overpass, it will look as if the highway dips down at an angle to the ground and then comes back up again. however the computer is rendering the 3D by following the shadow as if the shadow was falling on flat, level ground. look a highway bridge and you'll see what I mean.
