why does the white background appear when imaged are loaded into Google Earth?

rscott415 · 11-15-2005, 07:53 PM

I've been loading various images as overlays into google earth from the google earth hacks.com site. I'm running into a problem with a white background appears after each image overlay download. Help!! Can anyone out there in Google land tell me how to get rid of the white background>

I dont understand what your saying? is it the white image with "image not found" written on it? if so, the overlay is broken.

Please attach a screenshot, or provide more information - I'll try to help you fix your problem

I see someone else has had this problem, but there is no answer. Hers is a screen shot:

The image I am overlaying does not include the white space - it is just the rectangle in the middle. The white space is an artifact of GE. It increases in size when I zoom out and decreases when I zoom in.

Changing the transparency of my image does not change the white blob, which remains 100% opaque, unless I go to the absolute maximum transparency (i.e. clear), in which case the white blob suddenly disappears, but then I can't see my image either. The white blob reappears when I decrease the transparency to anything less than clear.

As I don't use GE4 I really don't know. Only things I can think of are:
A. Reinstall GE4
B. Use GE3

Never faced with this problem ... GE3 as well as GE4.

Well ininstalling GE4 and installing GE3 made that problem go away, though v3 didn't impress me with its stability. I had to install 3 times before it would actually start up error-free.

Unfortunately, v3 also made the COM API go away. *sigh* Maybe v5...

yeah i used to get this all the time in GE3.
i eventually gave up on overlays, which is a real shame

, they used to slow my GE to a crawl after displaying 5 or so simultaneously.
surely they cant take up that much memory!

i never did find the answer, i just gave up
