Re: Data Problems Compendium - version 3

As a first time user, I've found this community pretty hard going. All I really want to do is report to someone at Google Earth a blurred image/sector of the North Island of New Zealand map. The coordinates are:

northwestern most corner: 37deg41min50secS, 176deg17min42secE
northeastern most corner: 37,42,36S, 176,19,44E
southeastern most corner: 37,44,06S, 176,19,38S
southwestern most corner: 37,43,42S, 176,17,33E

This is a surprising blurred area, since the areas around it are high resolution, and since the area is a sigificant natural disaster possibility, with an active volcano (White Island) is just off the coast, and the land area adjoining an area with significant geothermal activity.

I heard someone from Google the other day on the radio talking about how important Google Earth can be for civil defense preparedness. Seeing this poor image in such a geologically active area makes me wonder. It's also a bit of a bummer since I can't see my house, which is right on the edge of this blurred area.
