Yes, you're kind of right; they've had that version for some time- the one with the little camera symbols that give you a truly weird entrance to Street View. There are morte of them now, but it's only a quantitative change, not qualitative. The problems remain the same; I find it a truly horrible interface, and just now when I tried to go back to overhead view, it crashed Google Earth, which is the first time it's ever done that to me. At least it didn't crash the Mac (Skype run simultaneously with iChat is the only thing that's done that in many years) but I think it's so superior in Google Maps that I reckon I'll stick to that for Street View. But just as they have fixed whatever the problem was with Skype'n iChat, I'm sure given time they'll fix Google Earth too. -- Peter

And that problem remains entire; just now, moving to the next camera image worked once, and then on the second move it crashed Google Earth again. This was on my iG5, running 10.4.11. To check it wasn't just a symptom of extreme age (not mine this time, but the kit) I tried it on Anne's MBP. Same result; everything went faster, certainly, but at the fourth move to a new 'camera' along the street, it fell over. Not too great, just yet. Going up the same street using Street View in Google Maps worked fine. So it's no real problem even now. -- Peter
