Google Earth integration with ProPE

[RecceDG]

If you haven't already:

1) Install Google Earth

2) Go to the Docs directiory of the SB Pro PE install

3) Double-click the .KBZ (?) file - it will have the Google Earth logo on it.

4) Enjoy!

For those of us without SBPPE at work can you quickly tell us what it does? :)

Whooah! Nice find! Must try that Trentino Alps map it looks like pretty impressive mountainous country down there.

where do you install google earth to? I have it installed on c drive does not work

[RecceDG]

It should work there - but be aware you need an active Internet connection and the Google Earth port open, or GE cannot grab the images off the server.

If you are behind a firewall of some sort, you are SOL.

That is great! The maps in Pro PE are fabulous. It looks to me as if the maps were created using satellite data. They are so detailed and accurate. Is there a way we can pick an area on Google Earth, and create out own map for Pro PE?

Oops, never mind, I just saw the "Digital Map data and SB ProPE" thread. It addresses my question nicely. :)
