is there something up with it or is it just my computer? I can’t seem to get the satellite view, anyone else?

click the wee green picture, bottom left of your screen. Takes you into a web version of earth.

incedently, when in earth, zoom right out, I think it’s very cool that it has live cloud cover these days! 🙂 (compare it to a bbc pressure chart)

I know where its located its just a grey grid patterned screen when I click on it, any ideas? or has the bomb dropped in my area and I wasn’t informed??? Lol

try reinstalling the plug in maybe?
