ASTER data

Could ASTER data of the Terra satellite be used to (drastically) improve the maps of Google Earth ? 91.182.126.115 (talk) 13:39, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

No, only Landsat 7 from NASA, Google has been updated base layer of imagery of the Earth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.121.210.59 (talk) 17:17, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Problems with Misplaced Pages and Panoramio integration section

First, it should be clear that Google Earth is integrated only with English Misplaced Pages. 2nd, the plug for Misplaced Pages-World does not seem appopriate, given this project is likely not notable, and as far as I can tell, not very really functional (as in - it's not incorporated into Google Earth soft, is it?). One ref is to the said de wikipedia page, another one to a somebody's (creator?) homepage . This de wiki project may be linked from external links, but I think it fails notability criteria to be mentioned in text. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:02, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Buildings in 3D

Hartford, Connecticut, US New Britain, CT, US Middletown, Connecticut, US — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:CDA0:4680:8FD:C2F0:6543:EED7 (talk) 20:16, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

List of cities and towns in 3D

I think it is becoming too big, that it needs it's own article page for it. Georgij Michaliutin (talk) 02:50, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

You're right. We need that one. - EugεnS¡m¡on(14) ® 07:37, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
I'd remove the list altogether. Some areas include dozens and dozens of towns, most of which aren't included yet. Trying to cover this in an article would be extremely time-consuming and in my opinion pointless (a user would rather check on Google Earth by themselves rather than check an incredibly huge and likely outdated list). 88.27.80.252 (talk) 23:59, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Why adding towns that lay close to the big city that are covered together? In my opinion it is better to just name a big city that is in the center of 3D mesh. – Georgij Michaliutin (talk) 11:47, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Please move 3D locations list to separate article.-71.174.180.207 (talk) 19:21, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

This list is by now ridiculously huge, and as far as I can see, completely unsourced. I am going to remove it, as Misplaced Pages is not a directory among other things. LjL (talk) 13:04, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
