Maybe you type just the name of the city. You have to type the name of the country separated from the name of the city by commas.

Google Earth view your city.

In the left side of the Google earth You have an option called "Layers"
under this option check the "Google earth community" this lists all the
names of important cities and some important places. Try this, although
it lists almost all places, but use your mouse and search option. I have the
same problem and I even can't view my own city! Happy searching

:lol:

I am living in Delhi and I have no problems in the search, but it doesn't work in some cities of india. Visit earth.google.com and view the 'Detailed Cities' in the Support section

Hello, I have just downloaded and installed the application in the hope of seeing my city and hopefully my locality as well but Google has not yet added the data.:( I can only see the overview of Kolkata and not the detailed area.

Anyway, can anyone tell me what data does google earth provide with regards to India? Can I see the exact area details of the major cities?

wats your locality?
i even saw places like 24 parganas and as far as my knowloege of kolkata goes thats pretty out of town!

btw google has uploaded new immages of mumbai and its very detailed. the following places are visible
>flight deck of vikrant zoomable upto eye alt of 400mts(ya you can see it!)
>pawan hans(its labled as an airport)
>vt station and railway lines up to bandra
>unfinished bandra worli sea link
>marine drive

by the way delhi seems to be the most detailed.
