Same thing I'm afraid Nige. I'm clicking on maps from Google's front page   :-/

wonder why your error message has the full stop at the end of the URL then ..   methinks that is the problem ..

Ah! So definitely not just me! Maybe it'll fix itself eventually

I hope so, I use it a lot, though mainly at work and particularly for my mileage claims....

Apparently, it wont work if you live in a place beginning with 'B'. Weird.

Andy try windows version.. I find it more useful..

and for your problem.. I also had some problem with windows version.. couldnt log in problem was some ip settings in

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file

I add those lines and problem solved..(for windows version)

209.85.229.99 auth.keyhole.com
74.125.157.99 kh.google.com
74.125.157.99 geo.keyhole.com


but still cant activate street view.. 

Sorry Cem. Far to complicated for me      Thanks for the advise though 

Its really not that hard Andy...

Browse (Click from My Computer) to following location CEM mentions:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\

Then open the host file, and past in those addresses above, save and try again. Easy peasy

Bugger! Maybe I should move to Radcliffe or Ramsbottom then!

Can you copy and paste and navigate to a folder? Its that easy  

[Andy B]

......
Can you copy and paste and navigate to a folder? Its that easy  

A long time ago I remember a young lad asking for advise on the dead easy task of replacing brake pads ..... 

Copying & pasting is dead easy ....... so is psting them in the wrong folder.

And i gave it a go... now i do cam covers, shocks, exhausts.. 

What your pasting there is not dangerous, easier way is do this:

Click Start > Run

Paste this in:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

You will see this popup:



Open the host file in notepad, and paste the IP's in at the bottom of the text file.

To be extra safe, copy a backup of the host file elseware
