I have got Goops to run, & it tracks my location accurately, however it seems to draw these black polygons more often than it draws the satellite image. It is as though it stretches the images quite a bit before drawing them. However about 10-20% of hte time it does indeed draw the image more or less correctly. I have had the same problem with Roadrunner GE & so I am thinking it is a GE setting. Anyone have any ideas?

I get the problem randomly on my laptop, but not as bad as yours (usually just one 5-block square of blackness). I do not get the problem on any of my other machines.
The problem should occure with Google Earth alone (even without RREarth or GooPs).
1) Try DirectX mode instead of OpenGL (or visa-versa).
2) Try uninstalling/reinstalling Google Earth from earth.google.com.
3) Upgrade to a better video card.
1.8.1 - 12/14/06 - Maintenance release
Can now switch between Land/Sea and Air modes
Timestamps now displayed correctly between discontiguous tracks
Does anybody know how to solve the problem of the error attached? it happens 1 or 2 seconds after it starts tracking, thanks.
Hi Charly,
I don't have a resolution for that problem. I've reported the issue to the GE folks. It appeared with Google Earth version 4. You just have to click ignore.

That's odd. Do you have the latest GE? Is there just one GooPsServers link in your Google Earth "Places"?
You can try version 3 if you can find it. You can also try reinstalling GE.
Hello, I successfully installed Goops on Google Earth and was totally satisfied and amazed. Especially the tracking. Unfortunately, my gps went on the blink I received a new one. previously it was set to a com port under 16. Now that I have re installed my Pharos bluetooth GPS, it is assigned 19 and 20. The goops server only goes up to 16. My question: is there a way to re set com ports so that the ports are free. Or else a way to get Goops to recognize com ports above 16.
Sorry if my ignorance shows here as I am not a tech oriented person.
Specifics: Windows XP
Sony Vaio Laptop
Pharos Bluetooth GPS.
Thank you and congratulations on a great program.
I had one great week of using this while on vacation and want to get the feeling back!!!

I just found a problem with the latest GE release. 4.0.2722, built on 1/5/07. GooPs won't work at all with this release (not sure when it broke). I am working on a fix and will release soon.
1.9 – 1/7/07 – Broken with latest Google Earth Beta
Important: You must remove any existing "GooPsServers" network links from your Google Earth "Places" folder.
Fixed to work with Google Earth 4.0.2722 (built 1/5/07)
GooPsServers Network link now updates
