This works perfectly! Nik (aka congo) sent me the files which I then copied onto an SD card (note that it must be done on a Windows machine and not a Mac). He includes a well illustrated user guide which gives the step by step instructions. This procedure copies information onto the SD card, the contents of which you then send back to him as a zip file. Almost by return he sends another zip file, the contents of which you again copy onto the SD card. He includes yet another illustrated user guide and in a matter of minutes Google Earth is active again! There is no effect on other Connect functions. I don't know how he does it but it is like magic! I can't praise Nik enough for developing this and he doesn't expect you to pay until you're sure it works. It is also covered by a 6 month guarantee - if before the end of the 6th month the software is not able to function correctly anymore and he's not able to fix it, you will receive a 50% refund. The cost is a one-off payment of 180 Euros which I think is very fair to get this Google Earth feature working again.
