Hi All, Just wondering if someone could help me with the following.
I have Google Earth tracking via my GPS however it zooms in all the time, so close that I can't see a decent satellite view. I have checked all the settings and can't see one for changing the view of my current position , it's currently zooming in to around 4 metres which blurrs things and when I try and zoom out it zooms back in again. ?
Any ideas..?

From the Google Earth Plus forums:
=======================================
"I am a Google Earth Plus subscription associated. When I connect my GPS to use with Google interface in the "real time tracking", the image keep zoomig in until (7m) from ground. How can I set up a limit for this zooming in process and, for example, lock it on 1,0 km above the ground, for better visualization?
====reply====
You cannot lock it to 1 KM high, which is probably too high to track movement unless you are flying a plane. But you can get a better view. Switch your GPS between NMEA format and Garmin format and set Google Earth Plus to the same setting. One of these formats has a better view than the other.
=======================================
Hope this answers the question.

Looks like that once you start driving it zooms back out so you can see yourself driving along with a reasonable view, so I'll see how it goes, thks..
