Incorrect satellite image tile placement


Recently I started seeing the following nonsense with the satellite images in my Google Earth plugin:

enter image description here

The incorrect tiles fade in and out as I zoom, and at some zoom levels everything looks fine.

This happens across browsers (chrome, IE9, Firefox), but only on my machine. I've tried re-installing the plugin, but that didn't seem to help.

I'm using plugin version 6.2.2.6613

Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?


Solution

  • I have seen this problem before and again recently. The first time I was told it could be conflicts with the hardware accelerators but then the problem just went away.

    Until recently I have had two instances of the plugin running in the same desktop application with no problems. Then a couple of days ago I started seeing the problem again although it is not happening today. I don't know if it would help but I would suggest rebooting your computer.

    I've also wondered if Google was updating the plugin or the maps...

    Sorry I can't be of any help but I suspect it will go away soon.
