How do ya get the URL of the google earth images?

North_West_Art · 10-01-2011 3:58pm

To put up a Google Maps photo on here, I go to Google Maps and go to street view, (you know where you drag the yellow man icon onto the map), then I use a simple image editing program called Irfanview.. there are many such programs available free online. There is a command in the program called 'Capture/screenshot' under Options. When you hit ctrl and F11, it takes a snapshot of whats on your screen, then you can crop it under Edit in Ifranview, and save it as a jpg. then upload it on here.
It sounds involved but its handy enough

Ah i was using google earth i can send a link to the photos via e-mail in there, but it shows up the street name so defeats the purpose , i'll try maps now...

thanks

which is correct

henke · 10-01-2011 4:40pm

Anyone know where this is?

Oh and just another tip on copying an image from Google Street View. You don't need to have any special software on your PC. Just find the pic you want on Google Street View. Go to Full Screen. Press the PRTSC (Print Screen) button, it will be located near top right of your keyboard. Just open up paint and then paste (or CTRL + V). You can then resize it if you wish and save the image as file type JPG image.

North_West_Art · 11-01-2011 11:12am

Moville Pier it is.. I dont know the story behind it, might have something to do with the thing thats used to sew fishing nets?

henke · 11-01-2011 4:10pm

Harps · 11-01-2011 4:48pm

Hootanany · 12-01-2011 2:50pm

No to far north:D

Hootanany · 13-01-2011 11:37am

Do you want a clue then

muckish · 13-01-2011 4:00pm

Looks like a Council Reservoir somewhere.

Durnish · 13-01-2011 6:09pm

mmm, can't be Inch fort as I think that is more overgrown. Is it the reservoir/water tank between Ardara and Glenties?

Hootanany · 13-01-2011 7:05pm

Nope

North_West_Art · 15-01-2011 7:50pm

No, two different locations.

Not Cruit Island, probably a place very few have been so will give a further pic later.

Drainpipes aren't Malin Beg as I know it but not too far away;)

Wow, didn't expect anyone to get that so quick. Have you been there recently?

Harps · 17-01-2011 9:44pm

Recently no but I grew up on the island on the left of the pic so immediately recognised the view
