Is there any way to use Google Earth on an iBook, without an Internet connexion ? I wish to use GE in the middle of nowhere, where maps aren't available, and access to Internet even more difficult.
I've heard that it's possible.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks

Yes, you should have downloaded the version for a Macontosh operating system, and it'll work on any ibook. The problem that it will be low res only, but that should still work with the road layers on, they aren't effected. Hir-res requires internet streaming ;)

Thanks.
But that's the point. Low-Res are useless where I work.
So I understand that unless I copy-paste each square km. at a time of each Hi-res image to get something useful, I really can't use Google Earth.
How frustrating !

you just have to fill your cache file with all wanted regions. Max size of the cache file is 2GB - you have to go to the settings first and change the default to 2000MB.

Hum,
strangly, i have Hir-res images when i`m not connected. (i have a PC)
i also have a few Data caches, GoogleEarth, GoogleEarth1, GoogleEarth2, GoogleEarth3 , etc...
in C:\Documents and Settings\your computer name\Application Data\Google\
(just rename GoogleEarthx to use).

You may have some, but not all the of the hi-res images available offline, blob. Yuo are just looking at the cached images, ig you had all the hi-res images on your computer, it couldn't hold them all. ;)
Yeah,
which is why GE need to make the 2 gb limit larger....
A couple of terabytes would do nicely.
