Google Earth

Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone here can help me quick!

I'm working on Google Earth at the minute and am using the 'layer' function to overlay old map sections over certain area's, but once I size the new layer up and 'ok' it, I cant get that layer active again to fade it in and out. Anyone know if I can do this or how?? Sorry if this is the wrong place but I maybe someone here might know.

Cheers,

Select the layer on the list to the left and you will notice a small scroll bar below the layer list. This will fade the layer in and out.

Because Irish is the official language of Ireland and English is the official language of the United Kingdom.

Someone should really tell google we all speak english down here and a lot of us wouldnt have a clue about the irish place names.

and throw our heritage in the crapper. Good idea.

Google have it spot on. There should be only one name for each country in different languages and that's the origianal countrys name in their mother tonge. There should be no Ireland or Irelande but just Eire in French/Spanish/English. FACT!

Heritage is nice, not knowing where you're going because the map is published in a language that 95% of the population don't use in normal discourse with placenames that noone including the locals who live there commonaly use to satisfy nationalistic ambitions of a long dead generation is not nice.

eh, putting "FACT" at the end of a statement does not make it so. The island with live on is Ireland in the English language, Éire (with fada) in Irish, Irlande in French and so forth. A language speaking group generally determine what they call a place. The regieme in Burma may insist that we call the place Myanmur when speaking English, but we can happily ignore them.

I assume you are supporting the Italia sporting team, are happy that Deutschland are out. Cheered on Conferderatzione Helvetia in the first round.

You get the idea, when referring to a country in english, use the english name. Anything else is just silly.

Looks like another frustrated Gaeilge student, failed by the Irish curriculum, now bitter and resentful about Ireland's heritage.

When was the last time you checked? They updated east Dublin last year and the quality isn't as good as it was before. It seems very washed out. Have a look at the edge of the west city centre and you can compare for yourself.
