Just come across a link at the JungleSeeds website which points to using
Google StreetView to stroll round the Eden Project. You'll need a bit of
patience, but it is an interesting idea for those who can't get there.

It's a very long address:

Or you can use this:

Thanks Jeff, I enjoyed checking this out.

Kind of surprised at the paved paths, actually.

Have you looked at your own house with Google Earth Pro?

Is it different from google maps? That's what I use.

First I thought I was using Google Earth Pro. It seems that I was using
Google Earth, despite getting there by downloading Google Earth Pro.
I noticed that some photos of France and UK had been updated. In NL they
are all at least 4 years old. At least some of the photos are different
to those I saw when I used Google Maps Street view a week ago.

I haven't bothered with 'earth' in a while, it was always a little hit or
miss on linux, and I only run 64 bits now which seems to make it even
harder (shouldn't be, mind you).

Street view in Paris is dated Sept 2014, not too bad. In Normandy it
doesn't make it down our street at all, the nearest is only dated 2010,
missing a house on the corner that has been built since!

Linux is much, much faster...

I stopped using G Earth because it was so slow, however with the latest
version once the long start up is over it is very fast.
I haven't tried it, but apparently GE is controllable with a joystick.

So I checked and apparently I did install google earth at some point on
this computer. It sort of works, I was able to "fly" to Normandy, but if
I type an address in the box I get an illegal request error. Anyway I
was able to see that the imagery is from 2010, same as maps.

It booted very quickly, certainly under a second. But this is a 3.7 ghz
Ivy Bridge i7 with operating system and most executables on SSD, so it
better be fast!
