Win10 - Homeport - Google Earth

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hello from Cork, Ireland!

I was a Mapsource user. I updated to Win10 and my Mapsource displayed an error when launching. I decided to try an installation of Homeport.
Firstly Homeport will always throw up a User Access Control (UAC) warning, even after I check the "run as administrator" box.
Anyways... Homeport will run fine once I click "yes" on the UAC warning.

My problem is:
When I try to view my files (.ADM from ECHOMAP50s) in Google Earth, I get an error message from Homeport : "Google Earth is not found - This feature requires Google Earth to be installed....". Obviously I have a working copy of GE on my PC.

I have looked in Options but do not see anything that might help.

I would appreciate any pointers...

Thanks,
Jim

This is an issue with some folks who use BaseCamp and you may have the same issue. The workaround for them is to launch GE prior to calling it from within BaseCamp. Try that with Homeport.

Thanks!
Unfortunately it did not work for me.
Still the same message when GE is opened before Homeport.

I had the same issue with Google Earth. Starting Google earth first fixed it for me. It would be much better if it just worked though. Or if there was a way to add the path to the install directory or something.
