A family member of mine wants to have Google Earth available on a very compact PC/PDA for when he goes on trips to very remote areas. He will not have internet access when he's there. Is this possible?

Is this possible? kimsland 05-12-2008, 08:27 AM No. Google Earth needs to contact the Google Earth servers to display anything Without the Internet plugged in, nothing will show. You can confirm this by disconnecting the Internet from your computer, and try running Google Earth Ad 05-12-2008, 08:27 AM dgower2 05-13-2008, 11:22 AM Thanks for the info.

But can the GPS navigation provide the graphic capabilities, such as panning, terrain, 3D, zoom, etc. that GE does?
