woo?

[rayzor810]

what on (google) earth does this mean??? obviously a glitch,as word keeps changing every time i go back to it!

[GEH4EVR]

All I see is a load of dirt?!

[clems_37]

There is a problem with the name of the place !!!
GEH4EVR did you notch "Geographic places" ??

[Gandolf]

SAT Coding marks. shows after 100% load.

[GEH4EVR]

That's odd, all I see is this.

[shrinkingman]

With Geographic Features turned on I see a 'W' and a blue square (could be an 'O' I guess).

[GEH4EVR]

also found these?!

and when I went back there it was about 30 letters long and all of them were in chinese?!?!?!

[shrinkingman]

Yep, looks like the letters change every time you go there, which is what rayzor810 said in the first place. It's a bit odd, it must be a coding error which randomises the characters or something. I've never turned on the Geographic Features layer before, it's good to get a bit more information from GE, shame it's only US features at the moment.

Well if you could find out information about England(Or any other country) you could make your own.

Anyway back to the original subject,

I conntacted Google Earth and they said

"Thank you for your note. We appreciate you taking the time to contact
us
and report this problem. We've identified the foreign text in Hawaii
and
we'll investigate this issue further.

Thank you for using Google Earth,
The Google Earth Support Team"

So we shall see what happens.
