[Rant] Can't download Google Earth
-
I feel your pain.
I dont know of a solution to your problem, other than going to the pub and having a few cold ones with your friends.

That's wh the updater is needed.
So you say Rotterdam? I'll check it out myself, too. Thanks for the tip.
Have you also sen the ancient Rome topic in the CB (or here)?

All Google interfaces suck...with the exception of the one they bought from @Last. The average Google UI has all the visual appeal of a Tax Form.
Amsterdam now seems to be pretty well covered too, but there's hardly anything in the UK yet. -

I have tried to upload plenty of buildings in the UK, I have clients that want me to get their buildings on there. I have just given a client their deposit back. If the model is outside of London and any more complex than a cube with some photos stuck on it then I think Google must overlook it. I have followed the guidance notes to the letter and optimised the models as much as possible. It is very frustrating.
-
Interestingly I have uploaded a fairly complex model to the WH (just as a test; didn't mean to be included into the 3D layer) and to my biggest surprise it was dded:

Jon, there's a few starting to appear in Liverpool...like the 3 Graces on the waterfront...but it seems a slow process.
-
But it's not on the official 3D Layer in GE is it?
-
Maybe i spoke too soon, this is one of mine. Sorry Google.
edit: got confused with the rating, no it isnt on the google default layer. I'll keep waiting.

Hi Csaba, I edited post above
-
And is it current and real (built) building? Not a planned modification of it?
-
Yes its existing. It is a not for profit organisation so there shouldn't be any problems with advertising. The model is very accurate, as I had the cad plans of the building to work off. There are several buildings I need to upload for them, this is the most basic.
-
Ah, good. How long has it been sitting in the WH?

Imagine I have the CAD file (only plan) of my whole city!
-
A while, I have made various changes and reloaded it.

Coen, if you don't mind, I'll add to your rant. I just ran the update for for GE and it did automatically added the Google Toolbar for IE. I tried to stop it, but then it stopped the GE update. I've had this problem with other Google updates. If I wanted the damn Google Toolbar, I'd install it. But I don't, so now I have to take the time to uninstall it.
