How to navigate the new Google Earth WDW experience!

[BeastnBelle29]

I know that this has been on here alot, but I was going through youtube and saw this video that introduced the new 4.3 version. I'm assuming to use the 3D walkthrough for Disney and the major cities that they do you'll need to re-download this version. Sorry if this has been posted about how to do it, but if this is what it looks like I'm not getting much done this summer in the way of work. I believe the 3D buildings, going into the city, and looking around start at 1:30. The street view, which is so cool, starts at about 3:00. I believe the city that they use is Baltimore. The whole thing is really interesting, like we all need something else to take up our time. I know I'll be busy tomorrow, see ya in Walt Disney World!

Can't wait DDDD

Street view works for the resort roads but not for the parks yet. The resort was intergrated a while ago, I never tried streetview in the google earth software before today.

Anyway, will be checking back often today

Looks cool. I wonder- will the resorts be included in Street-View?

I believe so.. but not 100% sure.

I must say that this looks completely addictive. We should all be very careful or a families may need start interventions on all of us. :ROFLOL:

They must not have it live yet because if this is what all the hype is about is is awful and will make you dizzy!

I try to zoom in and next thing you know the map is all over the place it is impossible to get a street view and then you click 3d and it isn't working right. :brick:

It says version 4.3...

works fine for me

The city in the demo video is indeed Baltimore - it's making me miss home! They fly around the World Trade Center, Legg Mason building, and some other landmarks in and around the Inner Harbor and Downtown. It makes the city look better than it does in real life! :lol:

Very cool technology, I'll have to give it a try.

This is by far one of the most addicting things I've ever done. There's just way too much to look at. I can't wait till all of WDW is done! The roads to the resorts is all that I have seen so far up and running.

[cinderellafan6]

[lilo091701]

Me Too!!!!

All I get is above view and lots and lots of pictures to click on and look at.........I want to walk down Main Street!!!!!

 

[WDWFREAK53]

Hehe, I know what I'm downloading once I get home

Not everything has been set up at WDW yet, so if you don't see it that's why. Make sure 3D buildings is on and street view is on also. Look at the streets around WDW where all the cameras and things are lined up really close like a line, each one is a panarama view. When on street view, hit the zoom button and it will take you closer to the ground then level you out on the ground, that's when you'll see them appear. Hope this helps!

when the 3d park is turned on you will see a new icon in Google Earth (a Mickey Mouse icon) - that will pop up a dialog box asking if you want to turn on the 3d maps or not.

be patient - it'll come up soon I'm sure...

what resorts should I be looking at in order for this to work?

bookmark this page: http://www.disneyworld.com/3dparks

when the park is ready in Google Earth that page will be updated with instructions (check my above post).


there is nothing to see yet as the 3d parks piece hasn't launched.

Ok...I found the area on the roads leading to WDW with all the cameras but when I zoom in I get a "photo" of the road that is curved and it just keeps flashing the same photo, over and over as i travel down the road, I can't stay on the road so the photo disappears and reappears and the edges beyond the photo are annoying bright red and yellow lines so I'm getting a little nauseas just looking at it.:hurl:

Any other tips that may help?
