Hi Guys,

I made a program to integrate with google earth (GE) and builds the cache file for a specific area needed by the user.
My program called Google Earth Voyager (GEV) because it automatically surf the area you want without any need to surf it by your hands..

Actually I always wanted to scan a big area over GE with a detailed zoom (from only 600 meters altitude) but the problem was that I have to move over the whole area with the mouse so GE will refresh every snapshot and save it in its cache for later offline view.

So, I made this program that will take the details of the area you want to scan and the zooming value and it will fill the cache automatically.
In contrast with cache builder, GEV will scan the snapshots in order and it will not take random snapshots, so it will guarantee that you will go for every detailed square in the whole area.
Also it stops when it finishes the full scanning and gives the user an information message. It will not go forever.

You can download it from my web page at www.geocities.com/tamatimo.geo/files
the file name is GEV3.0.zip

Please refer to the help menu to see how it works, it's very easy, yet very powerful !

Is doing this allowed by the ToS?

I have downloaded the GEV3.0.zip, but when I extracted it, it said zip structure error...so, i cant extract the files..

i've downloaded your newest version but having trouble entering the right values.. could you give us an example? i've tried this...



...but the program replied that i've entered something incorrectly..

Hi all, i have the same problem. Appears the same Error Window.
I have everything tested, but I can�t to use the GEV program...
Any idea?

Just to let you know there�s another option (as I needed one).

ok, not the same thing, but you could use Allallsoft Google Maps Terrain Downloader to download the data, and then use Global Mapper 10 to georeference it (really easy since the coordinates are given by the downloader) and then generate a google earth superoverlay file from within Global Mapper, which gives this only-load-whats-needed kind of file.

It�s a paid option (although the downloader is cheap and Global Mapper is available as trial), but if you really need a region offline quite as often as I do, it�s a much better option. Also, you can just send the file to someone else.

Nice

Nothing for those who use the linux version yet though.
