I need to know what to turn off to find stuff.

For instance if I type in "Zambezi River" I get all these institutes in the US or EU that have a mission or expedition to the Zambezi River and not the damn river. I'm getting that with pretty much any famous land mark.

Make sure you are on "Satellite", and on location not search.

Thanks Nev.

Hmmm, can't seem to find what you are reffering to Nev.

Hum,
the search function is not suited for finding rivers; and you are better to narrow down the choice to "Zambezi River, Zambia" or "Zambezi River, Botswana" etc.

My tip; memorise the entire planets river systems.
