01:34we're gonna go to let's pick this Florida location so it'll tell you the GPS is off
01:45it'll calculate 100% and wanted to ask this do you want to simulate driving this route click yes and it'll
02:01start so there's the the route that it's taking and meanwhile we're gonna open up the this is Windows
02:157 so I had to find a version that worked for it let's turn up the volume here so you can hear the GPS so
02:35when Google Earth opens we go up to the top and okay go under tools GPS and go to real time now you have two
03:04options here you can automatically follow the path or you can keep that unchecked and you can search
03:16around it should so you select the Garmin and let's uncheck it and start and we can get out of here
03:30and you'll see this time bar here up on top you'll see that up here and there you'll have more control over to find out where you are and you can move zoom in and out
03:57automatically follow the path and then start it then we can close the box and you'll see it zoom in by itself
04:10and there it is moving
04:20now you can see let's set this to
04:31map
04:42instead of track up we'll put north up so it'll look the same

05:23and then we'll start it
05:32and then close the box again
05:37so now this will not move because it's not on the automatic
05:45but we can see where this is
05:54and then just find it
05:56right there
05:58now what a good feature of this is how much you can zoom out and you can still see the red
06:06okay

09:14The features here will be, if you arrival time, there's like a little speedometer there.
09:31You can reset it and get the trip ticked there.
09:38The right one will give you the next turn.
09:48Take exit 15, unright, to I-287 south.
09:53And if you keep clicking on this.
09:56Take exit 15, unright, to I-287 south.
10:00It'll have your whole route.
10:08Too bad we couldn't get these things going again, because just like computers, they stop the updates.
10:15I mean, this will take you, here it is right there, 95 all the way down to Florida.
10:29Now, I tried this on a newer GPS and I couldn't get this feature right here.
10:52See right now, there we are.
