Downloaded it now how do I see it run in "Demo" mode?

**davidhite** · 02-02-2006, 01:35 PM

Cliick on "Options..." then "Add/Update GE". This will add a GooPs Server network link to Google Earth.

Also - make sure the "Demo Mode" checkbox is checked.
It also starts google earth if it isn't already running.

**tbird2340** · 02-02-2006, 01:40 PM

OK.. Then what? I launch your program, go to options, click on Add/Update GE, and it Google Earth just sits there moving around, panning in and out?

**davidhite** · 02-02-2006, 02:00 PM

Do you see a 3D cursor? There should be a network link in your temporary places folder call GooPsServers. Open the link and double click on "GooPs" to zoom in to it.
Also make sure you don't have any other Network links active that might be trying to control your view.
You can also trying turning tracking off on the main GooPs window.

Got it.. Thanks.. Now explain the program some more.. No doc or anything?

So if I had this program installed in my carputer then someone can track me real time?

**davidhite** · 02-02-2006, 02:16 PM

Also make sure the combo box on the main GooPs window has "GooPs*" selected.

Whew! Glad you got it working. What was the problem?

You can add any number of GooPs servers in the options menu. Just enter a descriptive name and the host name of the GooPs server you want to track and press "Add/Update to GE". The host you want to track must also be running GooPs.

Anyone that has access to your system over the internet can track you in real-time (you must make your system available). You can also track anyone else on the internet.

If you have multiple computers on your home network you can run GooPs on them in demo mode and they can track each other.

Sorry about the lack of help. You're the guinea pig.
