Title: HB PC and Google Earth
Post by: Bayou Basser on June 15, 2015, 06:57:16 PM

All of a sudden when I try to use Google Earth while in HBPC I get a message that Google Earth is not downloaded.  However, I can double click the  short cut icon on my desktop and GE comes up and I can use GE while in Humviewer.

Any suggestions?

Out of curiosity I opened Google Earth, minimized it and was able to see it in HBPC.  It came up with my tracks and waypoints showing on the lake I had highlighted.  Maybe Google did some updates that prevents it from opening up in another application.

Need to see some opinions/feedback.

I hadn't actually tried the Google Earth feature since updating HBPC to version 4.3.8 ...

I experienced the exact error as you ... And even was able to minimize Google Earth and it work properly with HBPC just as you did ...

I uninstalled my current version of Google Earth from my PC ...

I then installed an older version of Google Earth 7.0.3.8542 from filehippo ...

This version of Google Earth seems to work correctly with HBPC 4.3.8 and Humviewer 86 ...

Thanks Richie for reply, I had a feeling that Google did this with latest update.  As long as I can use it with HBPC I can live with it as is (keep it minimized).
