Title: Google Earth 4.3
Post by: Debs. on 03 May 2008, 09:50:39

For any fellow Google Earth addicts fans: the new version is available to download now.....easy to install and if you have a previous version just install 'over the top'.

Improved navigation, 3D imagery, sun path view, images dates and easy access to the flight simulator are just a few of the worthwhile upgrades.

Cheers Debs.  All downloaded and installed, even sorted out a glitch that hung on the old version (even after and uninstall/re-install)

I am sure they must do as they are constantly updating the OS Maps.

I think I read (somewhere) that updates to the image database will be 'periodic' rather than 'regular'......image set for my location appear to be from 2006.....`though I observed some in the U.S to be 2008.  :)

Could some kind person please remind how to get into Flight Mode.  Have used it before, but with the new version and the fact I have just fitted a new Video card I now wanna have a play.

TIA
