Google Earth® Instructions (cont.)

2. Roads—By default, road names
may not appear when you first
download the Google Earth®
program. You will see a section
on the lower left side of the screen
called “Layers”. In this section,
you will see “Roads”. Just check
this box.
You can use other popular
features such as Street View and
3D buildings to enhance your
experience but this can slow your
PC performance. If it does, you
can simply check them when
needed.

The following settings will optimize viewing and maximize functionality.
1, Fly To Speed—The default setting in Google Earth® is designed for a
dramatic display as the program zooms into a given area. The following will
allow you to zoom in faster. The setting of 0.5000 is just a recommendation and
can be set to your own preference. To get to this setting, select “Tools” from the
top of the Google Earth® screen, then “Options”. Once selected, you will see
the window as shown below. From this window, select the “Navigation” tab and
slide the Fly To Speed bar until you reach 0.5000 or something close to this.
Simply click “Apply” and you can then close the Options window.
