Do the two of these work together?
I had my internet explorer hikacked somehow, and I use mozilla for most everything. I cannot use Google Earth of Bing Maps anymore on my desktop though.
Is there a way to get Mozilla and Google earth to work together?
Anyone know a good way to recover Internet Explorer after it has been hijacked?
Thanks,
Jimmy
No help on Mozilla but I use the free browser from Apple called Safari and I use Google Maps all the time. I just set my internet to point to it instead of IE. On my machines it's twice as fast. I think this is because it does not carry all the baggage that IE carries around with it.
Just another alternative.
Deral,
Thanks for the heads up. I have never used Google maps. The aerial photos are pretty up to date in my area. Another good tool.
I like the Google Earth because it is helpful looking for benchmarks with the shape files you can get from NGS.
Thanks again,
Jimmy
My bad Jimmy. I misread Google Earth for Google Maps. I use the Google Maps with the street level view often when looking around town.
Oops.
I've been using these 2 together for quite some time now.
Must be a setting somewhere.
:coffee:
Same as RFB - no problems whatsoever.
I've been using Mozilla at home for about a year. During that time my system became infected with a hijacker that made some operations impossible. Finally, I backed up all of my important files and reformated the computer. I forgot how fast my computer used to be.
Jimmy, I bet if you reformat your system you'll be able to load the Google Earth with no problem. I haven't reload Google Earth yet but I am using Mozilla. I'll download the latest Google Earth when I get home and let you know how it goes.
I've been running the two together for over a year, no problems.
I have been using FireFox for some time now and have not run into any problems with Google maps.
Make sure you have the latest Plugins for Google earth
I am currently running FF Ver:3.6.8
(my machine is running XP Pro 64bit)
These are the current google plugins I am running:
Google Earth Plugin V:1.0.0.1
Google Update V:1.2.183.13
You might try Google Chrome. It is Google's browser and it works well for me. In fact I am using it on this page now.
I have Apple Safari too. Came with my iPhone. It is ok too but I am beginning to favor Google Chrome for some reason.
I saw this on another site....pretty funny.
