Larger Swaths of Google Earth?
-
How can I get larger areas of Google Earth? my pins won't move in the grab window.

You cannot get a larger area than the pins allow in one piece. What's more, if you zoom out enough to get the largest possible allowed by the pins, you lose details of both the grabbed imagery and the terrain data.
Currently there is no other way than pan and add more imagery to the original location. Then "stitch" the terrain pieces together - at least for this, there is a plugin that helps with the manual process.

thanks Gai...

Unfortunately there's not too much to thank (except maybe to spare frustration) as this is definitely not a nice way to import large areas. There should be some better way but this function is geared for GE modelling obviously.

Hi Kris, try this link to a video of how to get larger images out of GMaps.
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1073912/google_maps_hack_how_to_save_large_maps/What I do is go to GMaps, switch to satalite mode and zoom to where I need optimum detail then run the process. It's a but of trial and error at first [to get the required amount of image you need] but is a great trick.
I found it on the Digital Urban website http://www.digitalurban.org/
Good source of info across the board with SU and urban design.
