There is a bug in the info box. In the place where the information for Windows should be gibberish can be found instead: "ighu]95pbkopm3kt4hb kopt;gf jfekrtfghpweydflkuv;u9wjeklrgu bhr3pijkweod" I couldn't find out how to correct this. --

List of Google Earth 3D areas
Agree, could someone re-instate the list? It is a very useful comparison with Apple maps' 3d flyover locations.
This list must contain only 3d areas and it must be trimmed if these 3d areas are merged.
I think that the best way forward would be to delete all suburbs of larger settlements from this list, unless those suburbs are major cities themselves (eg. Yokohama is a big city but also a suburb of an even bigger city Tokyo; but the Lawrence suburb of Indianapolis is not a major city). I would also remove all internal divisions of each country except the United States.

Weather layer
When did Google Earth add a weather layer? I see nothing about it here. Seems a pretty major oversight, since the past 2 winters the weather has been pretty wild as seen from Google Earth. Entire continents whited out.

If we don't have a third-party source saying that, we can't include it here. And if no source talks about this, it's a good indicator that the change isn't notable.
