[DogParkList] Re: DogParkList Digest, Vol 23, Issue 6

Tue Jul 25 23:12:01 EDT 2006

I like all of Don's stuff - especially MLDX.  Simply the best.

I wonder if, now that we have Google Earth, there is any interest in having
findu.com for the mobiles out there with APRS.  Here is my path
http://findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?call=W6LMJ-9&topo=8

Also, now that I have v 4.2.6 I tried the Log menus - Look Up Call on WWW
worked, Map Quest worked, Google Maps worked, but when I selected Google
Earth, the program launched but no map appeared.  I wonder if there is an
option or choice I have missed?

I notice there is a latest version, or beta of Google Earth that has higher
resolution images - I wonder if I need to upgrade before things work as
expected?

Ah ha, trying it again just now I get a window that says I need to download
an update.  I am doing so now - over a cell phone Internet connection in the
bottom of Iowa - doggedly slow - 40 minutes for a 26.5 Meg download - so
will try to report back later.
