    Also been to Javea but did not recognise that at all. This was Honfleur during  D day celebrations 3 years ago, extremely busy.

    Chas, mine says Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family which probably means 'Jurassic'undecided

    a quick Google of other queries suggests this is a bit too old...

    Can't you try updating the driver for the chipset? Try running Dell Support Assist available on DellUK Support.

    "somos pensionistas: estamos de vacaciones" we used to say, demonstrating our knowing the different forms of the verb 'to be'

    Name that campsite: the open-air pool is open all-year round!

    in short no you cant...ive just looked..

    the driver and that req for win 10 are fundamentally different and mine cant operate on win 8 either.

    win 10 needs WDDM tech which unfortunately cant be forced onto these really old cards....shame.

    new video driver possibly but.....new PC better but i ony do a couple of functions and i am just playing on here for something to do, lol 

    actually, i really am waiting for paint to dry....first primer coat on front door porch cover....may slip in cutting the hedge as it seems the tips are opening soon..

    thanks for all the help

    Amazing photo AD. That pool was Catherine's all-time favourite. We were last there in 2016. Having to wait in the morning for the pool to be refilled with warm salty water was no great hardship!

    p.s. You've really cracked this google map trick!!

    Our other favourite Spanish site up in the Sierra Espuna national Park. In the small village of El Berro. It's a terraced site with views down the valley, and walks all around the hills and mountains. (Just ignore the dustbins opposite the entrance)

    Try running it on Linux Mint for fun. You can boot and run from a USB stick. Download from CNET.

    Love the rose bushes in front of your pitch. We found March was best time to go as less busy and getting warmer. As you probably know, the site was extended beyond the swimming pool on the Isla Plana side.

    after getting it to work on the pc, tried the map embed using the ipad and its not quite the same... it certainly doesnt work if the embed code is retrieved from the app...it just doesnt work as it doesnt give the same options (embed code) as the pc following the share command.

    it 'appears' to work of using a browser instead but at the point of sharing  i got an error which was 'unable to copy link to clipboard' so a bit disappointing....frown

    So sad am I that I searched along the south coast on Google Earth for estuaries and sailing boats at anchor. Keyhaven! It's hardly a well-known seaside resort is it? laughing

    Keyhaven is on the esturary, Milford on sea is more obvious but well done Chas even if google maps helped. Thought some of the Hampshire residence might have spotted it sooner. Just out of frame on the bottom left was Hurst Castle.

    I thought I might get a drubbing for not entering the spirit of the challenge. Flying along the coast by google earth is quite enjoyable. Did you take the photos yourself? Why was cyberyacht not in with an enlightened guess?

    Yes, on the way back from a lads long weekend to the Jersey air show. Southampton docks were below and we were on route to Fairoaks Airport.
