....If you set it up for automatic then the zoom level is preset to zoom all the way in when driving really slow and zoom out depending on speed. The problem is that you can not control the zoom and sometimes you want to see where a certain road takes you. You try to zoom out and GE Plus just zooms you back in. We haven't found a way around this and others on the net are experiencing the same problem. How are you getting around it?
Speedy that's exactly what you use Earth Bridge for. That problem was driving me totally nuts too. Earth Bridge lets you view yourself from the sides, front and back, set the altitude, angle... it is just awesome.
Earth Bridge also saves you $20 a year because you can use the standard free version of GE with it.
great thread! We used laptops and aircards last year on the way to the Summit and it was great being able to look up stuff on the fly. We'd look up campgrounds and restaurants, even posted a bit on the forum from the road. I can't wait to try the Earth Bridge software.

I got this up and running & so far its awesome...
a coupla ?'s.
to zoom around in GE do I have to "stop" earthbridge?
also I don't seem to be able to start my route from my current location-can you guys?
and- are you guys plotting your route and then following it manually?
thanks,
sc
I will eventually go this route and I was wondering what I need to buy.
Thanks for the pictures and valuable information!!
What is the latest on hardware/software. Looks like this would be a good alternative when on a road trip. (Ouray) I would go back to my TOPO maps when in the outback. Nothing beats that.
Todd, you will have this for when I see you soon? Hope so, I can get the lowdown.
