• Google Earth looks ugly
    8 replies, posted
I opened up Google Earth to view a few buildings in california, and everything looked distorted and ugly as hell, could this have been some update? [t]http://i.imgur.com/S0SYKCT.jpg[/t] Mild distortions [t]http://i.imgur.com/vnaImuL.jpg[/t] Bad distortions [t]http://i.imgur.com/rMTaS2p.jpg[/t] Horrible distortions. Do any of you know why Google decided to do this?
"It's a feature"
Those buildings weren't 3D modelled before, but they 3D scanned the area from above and added the low res height data to google earth for showing mountain ranges and valleys, etc. You're best turning it off when looking at urban environments, unless the urban environment had the buildings modelled by hand. The large area 3D mapping technique they used just doesn't have the resolution to discern accurately where buildings and plants start and end.

It also seems to have a difficult time with water [t]http://i.imgur.com/7XXxRTR.jpg[/t]

You have to choose easy difficulty in the game options
Google in my area has been flawless from 2009
