This spring, I could see it on Google Earth. Now I cannot. It's gone. In fact, the image there now was taken March 21, 2004!!! It's even older than the previous image before the pool. Why would this be? Thanks, Post Extras:       Kempster Master Guide Reged: 05/29/04 Posts: 1520 Loc: Eden Prairie, MN, USA Re: I swear it was there!

It could be that an image was replaced with another image from another company. Sometimes, newer images are replaced with older images, but the older images are higher resolution. Do you notice that these "new" images are higher resolution than the "older" images? It's complicated business... -------------------- Understanding Google Earth Resolution Differences --- Official Google Earth 4 User Guide --- Reporting Data Errors Post Extras:       bcboater Tourist Reged: 05/05/06 Posts: 3 Loc: Abbotsford, BC, Canada Re: I swear it was there!

Sad that they have to go backwards in time to get a better quality image. Thanks for the info. Post Extras:       Pages: 1
