Hi Team,

I've noticed a problem with Google Earth today.

No matter where I am , all the photo links come up with what looks to be Chinese or Asian type pics.

I've been looking around the San Francisco, Anchorage and NZ areas and it's all the same.

Bugga.

Can any one offer any advice please?

Thanks,

Pete.

I don't know about hack but it is definitely a database error.

The pictures in my area sure are not from here.

If they are then I am going to find this backyard today. :icon_lol:
