How to avoid the dreaded melted houses?

As others stated, it's a limitation of technology and you can't do much about it. I tried several ways to improve PG (including pre-cacheing) but little did they help. 

Two points are worth noting, though:

- Quality of photogrammtey varies remarkably. London is certainly among the worst while Tokyo looks pretty good. As @Rockcliffe notes, quality of the raw data varies.

- Try various Zoom settings. I found quality (and performance) of PG depends on Zoom settings. Why you can't expect miracles, zooming in too far can ruin any photogrammetry.

Kind regards, Michael

As Michael and @Rockliffehave both stated the quality of PG varies with location.  Interestingly, I had a thread going a while ago "Post Apocalyptic Buildings". and Michael said he had never seen London PG look so good. See my image below.  There were a couple of buildings on the right that looked like old props from the movie "Towering Inferno" but this was on on 5Mbps!  Alas,  it was short lived. I have better internet speeds now but have not been able to replicate it so I am guessing it may, as some have said, be more to do with the servers dishing this stuff up and just how busy they are at any given time.  I mean, with my poor internet speed, seeing New York a burnt out melted mess was my expectation. But when I saw this in London and with Michael who I think has a pretty lighting speed internet suggesting he had never seen it so good, it changed my view that the  internet speed is entirely the issue. I repeat, as momentary as that was, it was 5mbps.
