I've been keeping my Google Earth cache backed up for every time I do a reinstall, and I love GE, use it lots, my cache is about 700MB, I have nearly all of Durban, lots of JHB and PTA cached, and some CT.

I'm hoping to get all of Dbn, CT, JHB, and PTA cached and cap it at about 2GB (since that's the max)

Would any of you guys like me to upload it somewhere? UUnet? Newsnet?

This will only happen end of a month sometime in the near future.
 
I'd be interested - pls lemme know when u are ready!

TIA
 
This should be pretty cool!
I mean, not having to download it all the time is pretty cool.
Maybe someone with uncapped can help zoom in for other areas! :)
Make a DVD and share that.
 
I'll put it on UUNET's ftp, local b/w. Will split into 64MB archives.

Google Earth's max disk cache is 2GB, which, I assume is some ancient FAT16/32 limitation, bugger.

I doubt it. Probably program specific. I'll see if I can fix it. ETA: Chances of fixing it are slim. The code is very confusing.

If you go into the file option at the top left side of the screen there's an option to save the current view as an image...

File - Save - Save image
 
Where should I upload this sucker? UUNET? Is that okay? Am I going to get molested by epileptic zebras for uploading 1.5GB+ there?

I'll do 64MB chunks I think.
