I live adjacent to this site... in town house with grey roof north west top of this site. There is no signage whatsoever on the site and thanks for the information. Always thought it was something to do with aircraft as this is the main flight path for Adelaide Airport.

Heamit, I completely agree with you!!! GE is covered with non-information, redundant information, or techno-speak that looks like a private joke. I usually turn off the Community layer, since so many i's don't tell me what I want to know...such as WHAT, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE, AM I LOOKING AT? I learn more by sending locations to my 86 y.o. dad.

just cause you didnt get it, doesnt mean we are all ignorant, he plays Microsoft flight simulator 2004, he has pointed out the nav points that he would tune the navigation radios into, for simulation of flight, its fun actually. Notice the amount of downloads, obviously not everyone agrees with you.
However if you want to talk about meaningless c on google earth, them stupid confluence points are the worst monster of them all, and i think the should be deleted.

Hi freddofrog 
Well we can agree to disagree then on the usefulness of these points. Personally, I think thousands and thousands of blue "i"s all over the globe for a computer game is over the top but as you point out there are others who like them.
I do agree with you, however, regarding those confluence points. But did you know that you can turn them off by looking at your "Layers" and going to "Google Earth Community" then "Community Showcase" and then un-check "Confluence Placemarks"! 
Now if only it were that easy to get rid of, ummm, this lot ...   
Have fun!

Hey, freddofrog. I saw this subject in the main index and was wondering what it was talking about. Yeah, part of me is saying it is a sensless post but part of me is saying that it is a good post. I just don't understand why he would put something for Flight Simulator on google earth. I mean, not to be rude but most people don't really care. I am kind of intrested in it. Actually, I have a question. Will these things work for Flight Simulator 2002, because that is the game I have. Thanks.

They are actual navigation points and VOR frequencies that work with any simulator, or real planes for that matter. Not that I would trust them if I were really flying. But its easy to have Google Earth open while using your flight sim 2002 included, and makes it easy to navigate! This is a community of people you guys are under estimating, and this is actually assisted by google earth!

You only need to look at the downloads (15,542!!!) to appreciate that its not pointless to more than you think, compare that to the thousands of posts with but a few downloads; like-my home/school and all that bother.
But if you look at any airport on Google earth, you will find that every one of them has the Airport name/ICAO/and freq marked on them by some one. Just like you call New York NY, a pilot will call Melbourne International ‘YNML’ what you call it depends on the community you are from, and being the Google earth community it fits!
Heamit, I guess thats an argument getting to what Google Earth is actually for in the first place? A bit of fun? 'I' for information? Flight Sim also being fun? and getting Info from Google right? By the way the post is under 'sports/hobbies' which is appropriate too.
Thanx for letting me know i can turn that Filter off because i WILL turn that one off, I cant stop thinking of the expended rescources time and money used in that project.
