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 »

The Google Earth images of the High Sierra seem to be 2014 early season, with all the high country covered in snow-- not very useful at all. How do I get to a different image later in the year without all the snow?

Thanks. It looks like you need the app to make it work.

Yep, Google Earth Pro on desktop is what you are looking for I would imagine.

I have it installed on my PC. It's free and has more features than the web version.

Thank you for sharing the links and information on how to view historical images on Google Earth using Google Earth Pro. It's great to know that the desktop version offers more features than the web version and is free to use. I thought I was out of luck because I’m using Linux, but good thing I checked https://www.google.com/earth/about/vers ... inuxos=deb
