What happens when I want to use Google Earth out of the home and I’ve no mobile internet? May I use Google Earth even without internet?
YES: Without internet Google Earth cannot load new maps, but the former visited maps reside on your computer. Google Earth remembers images and maps once shown in the screen in its so called Cache memory. This cache is stored on local hard disk and therefore also available without an Internet connection. Therefore, it is also an online archive.
Up to this is’nt full cache all recently “overflown” areas are still available.
And Thit is exactly the problem! If the cache is full, it overwrites the old data by third parties. Nobody knows when the cache is full and data will be automatically replaced.
If I need a specific area after weeks for a presentation without internet these data are lost. There’s only a fuzzy background without details. Google Earth has overwitten exactly this area cause someone has prepared his holiday trip on the same computer.
All the worse if you wanted to use Google Earth with GPS out of home and the necessary maps have disapeared.
Google Earth itself provides no opportunity to backup its cache data or to transfer it to another computer.
At this point apply “Cache for Google Earth”!
- Backup your cache with precisely that maps you need for later use
- Stay informed about the “filling level” of the cache.
- Exchange prepared cache copies with other computers.
