Hi, i've just downloaded google earth and had a look at our home on it, however when I zoom in the picture is blurred, it says I'm viewing from 279 metres, is this normal or have I got a setting wrong somewhere. Thanks

Just looked at my home area.
It used to be a complete blur.

Definitely a newer updated picture because the large tree has gone (a couple of years ago - sadly) from the front garden and - Yep there is the Hymer! Which came less than a year ago.

But I think the expression "higher resolution" is more appropriate.

Below about 250m eye height the image does become blurred whereas over Cardiff the picture remains clear down to about 25m.
