SamuiRes Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Any one else having a problem with Google Earth images of Samui? I have tried this on two separate Windows computers and different internet providers - using the time slider the latest images (12/2016) are out of focus,(5/2016) massive cloud cover, and all previous dates out of focus. Have upgraded to the latest version of Pro but still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I cannot speak for Google Earth, but the Google Maps imaging c2017 is perfect and clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is purely a Google Earth and Google Earth Pro problem, not Google Maps, but thank you for you input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Understood, but don't they use the same source imaging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I am not using Google Earth often. But just invoked it and zoomed to Samui (complete island): no clouds. Zooming in some areas, seeing single houses and even structures on the roofs. See a "35" on the runway of the airport. Big Bhudda with a stage leading up, roofs around with structures.

The few satellite views of Samui I checked look identical. Big Buddha is a good benchmark. (click on pic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) When using Google Earth from here in Bangkok I see the same image clarity as in KhunBENQ's image above. Working fine. Edit: Further playing with the Historical Imagery setting/icon does result in blurred pictures. If that setting is turned on/showing, turn it off and see what happens. When I turn it off the blur goes away. Edited January 13, 2017 by Pib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
