Thread: GooPs Real-time GPS Tracking and Navigation for Google Earth -Version 2.5.13 Released

More information about your setup would be helpful. My first thought would be to make sure in that in your "Places" section of the sidebar, that Goops is checked and green. If it is red, then for some reason Goops is not talking to GE.

I've had problems with older versions of Goops where GE stops following the goops icon and track, but I can usually fix it by turning zoom on and off or restarting goops while GE is still active.

@Queenambeach: I had the exact same problem. Goops knew where I was but did not track me for some reason. I uninstalled and re-installed the latest GE and ALL worked fine. if you have the patience try that.

P.S. did you try any older versions of of Goops? I had the problem with the last but 1.8 actually worked. clean installing GE fixed everything!

First off, thanks for the awesome software and the time you spend supporting it. I'm using it (well testing it) in a public safety installation (in 9-1-1 ambulances) and so far it's great.

The only snag I've run into is the inability to turn off auto-tilt. When I unselect the Tilt button (the other two are depressed and the "auto" checkbox is checked) it still insists on tilting down to about a 45 degree angle once the vehicle moves. Most of the time this is fine, but when we're trying to find a particular street, it's much easier to read at a 0 degree angle.

Any ideas would be great...I'm probably missing something obvious.

Thanks again,


Brian

Hi Brian,

Thanks, I'll look into that. I noticed that behavior when I was working on the next release, but I thought it was something I had introduced after the last release.

Looks like a bug when you are at zero tilt. As a workaround you can just stop tilting right before you get to zero. I'll fix it in the next release.
