You may be speaking too soon. StreetView has just been extended to
cover my area, so I've been looking round. It's hung up on me three
times so far (the picture starts to come into focus, then stalls - none
of the controls work and all you can do is hit the browser's reload
button, which takes you right back to where you started).

Looks as if it's not just the Google Earth app which is having problems.

Innaresting.

That hasn't happened to me so far.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.2, OS10.4.11 and an iG5.

It also seems to work okay on Anne's MBP, Firefox 3.6.2, OS10.5.8, but I
haven't used that nearly as much. But with the iG5, I've walked down
quite a few newly included roads in the Lake District, without a glitch.

Where are your newly pictured surroundings?

Haddington, East Lothian. It's taken quite a long time for the pictures
to come online - they were taken around October 2008.

Using Safari 4.0.5, OS 10.6.2, Intel iMac. I've just tried FireFox
3.0.14 (must get around to updating that) and it hung with a black
screen as soon as I switched to StreetView. iCab 4.6.8 seems to work
OK, although I didn't try it for long.

I think a quick update to 3.6.2 would solve that one. Certainly a quick
stroll down Knox Street and Victoria Road went without incident. Mind
you, it worked pretty well in Google Earth too.
