Movements using the mouse are often not smooth, but jump in quantum leaps. Rotations also squirm (try pressing the "reset north" button, especially if you have roated just slightly.). Thus, I assume the calculations that Google Earth uses are somewhat unstable near 0 longtitude, perhaps due to (say) division near zero? In any case, it is an interesting, and somewhat disconcerting effect. I have not noticed the same effect near 180 longitude, btw. Anyone have a better explanation for what I'm seeing (or is anyone not seeing it at all?) Chad Post Extras
