Question How good is.............

..............Google Earth?

The reason I ask is that I've downloaded V4 today, and was very disappointed. It pixellates at quite high altitudes, so that I could see little or no detail.

Even compared to the aeriel photos on Multimap, it was crap.

Or am I doing something wrong?

Think it depends where you look. Most of the USA is high quality imaging.

Cool

Try flash earth, it is sort of medium quality, everywhere, rather than a mix.
