google earth question....

[NOLA_Ken]

Every time I zoom in to a spot on google earth it tries to swing into a ground level view, and I have to manually adjust to look straight down again. Is there any way to stop it from doing that? It's annoying after a few times of having to adjust the view and then try to get back on the spot I wanted to begin with.

Just tried that one on an area I've been trying to research, and I'm pretty sure I just found an abandoned road and an old home site......Liking it so far, I never noticed this particular spot on google....

I use Google Earth often and have the same problem. I THINK the answer lies in changing from 3D view to 2D view. I have not yet been sufficiently stirred to figure it out. TTC

Terry, If you happen to figure it out, please let me know how you did it......I've been looking at it and I have no clue

Easy fix!!!

click on "tools" at the top...

click "options"...

click the "navigation" tab...

select "Do not automatically tilt while zooming"

Only if you own a personal satellite...lol. I like looking at the image of my neighborhood and trying to figure out how old it is by the images shown.
