[BaseCamp] BC and Google Earth Pro

[saddle sore]

Maura

Thanks for the directions, but they do not work for me.  I have Google
Earth Pro on my laptop.  From the Help>About it says it is Google Earth Pro
7.1.4.1529.  I'm not sure if that is old or current.

I tried it as you instructed, but I still get the same pop-up window with
the message that GE is not launched.  Then I go over to GEP and zoom in as
you suggested and nothing is there. I get the same results that I did
before -- it's not working for me.

If the view via Google Earth " is not a BaseCamp 'feature' ", I'm curious
why BC has it on their toolbar.

When it previously worked, it was a great feature.  I really liked being
able to see the ride before riding it.

I'll keep messing with it, but I'm not encouraged.

Joe
