Google Earth question

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

Google Earth question

Post by Wandering Daisy »

I cannot find the image dates on the current Google Earth (the free general version). Any ideas how to get this? Also, bad current image for the high Sierra - all the higher altitudes are snow covered, not very useful. I hope it changes soon.

Do you have GE pro (its free) What area are you looking for? the View Imagery works for picking a date. Remember it isn't Realtime data, but you can just choose the date on the bottom left bar and then pick a date. It is the historical imagery button on the left bottom of the screen.

I use the button at the top that looks like a clock. Clicking that opens a sub-menu that allows you to step back in time to find a date that has less snow cover.

Thanks. It looks like I really do need to get on Google Earth Pro.
