Description: Part 2
11. Borders and Roads
-----------------------------

Ok, now GE is ready to use, lets see how we can go from here to a specific location on the ground.
( A ) To make navigation/zooming easier, tick the boxes shown, notice the effect on the map.
( B ) Place hand/grab on the same spot as the pic and double-click.
The location we're looking for is near a small village called Luss.
12. Zoom to Ground
-------------------------

If all went well in the last step, it should now be zoomed-in more than before, check bottom right to see the change in altitude.
Again place hand/grab in the same spot as the pic and double-click.
Notice: each time you double-click a point on the map, that point then becomes the centre of the map.

Again place hand/grab in the same spot as the pic and double-click.
Notice the altitude changing as we descend.

As Borders and Labels is ticked, the name of the village we're looking for is circled on the left,
but our prospective grow spot is on an island nearby,
as before put the hand/grab in the spot shown and double-click.
13. Saving Ground Locations to Favourites
------------------------------------------------------

Zoom-in and adjust the Map View until it looks the same as the pic ...for fine tuning use keys - +
Favourite locations are saved by adding pins, notice the new pin-icon in the middle of the map.
Pins are always added to the centre of the map, so make sure the last place you double-click..is the place you want the pin.
( A ) Left Click to highlight My Places in the menu.
( B ) Left Click on Pin Icon to add a new favourite location.
( C ) Give the location a name, probably best to make it something not related to growing.
( D ) Click OK when done.
If your new pin appears in the wrong place, it's easier to delete and start again than trying to move it.
To delete a pin, left-click to highlight the pin in menu, then right-click it and select delete.
##When saving locations of an actual grow, it might be safer not to put the pin at the exact location....nearby will be fine.
14. 3D Landscape View
-----------------------------

You should now see the pin added to the map along with a new favourite in the Places Menu,
Take a moment and check altitude, tick boxes and map view are the same as the pic.

Hold down shift-key.. then tap/hold down-arrow-key until your Map View matches the pic.
Notice the Compass has N at the top which means we're looking directly north.
Have a play with the other controls circled in red.
