Google Earth - A world exploration tool
Authored by: styrafome on Jan 23, '06 09:57:22AM

Being a beta, Google Earth sometimes crashes, which makes it forget any places I've worked on. Through bitter experience I've learned that if you don't want to lose your work, be sure to do these steps every once in a while:

1. Select My Places in the Places panel.
2. Choose File > Save. (Sadly, the Command-S shortcut is assigned to a different command.)

Other notes:
It's easy to move My Places from Google Earth on Windows to the Mac. Just "Save As" a copy of your places in the Windows version and open it in the Mac version.

If you have a scroll mouse, the scroll wheel zooms. Try Shift-scroll and Command-scroll! (Reason #8468 I HATE Apple's 1-button mice) Also works great with iScroll!

using the clickwheel as a button (i.e. press'n drag it instead of scroll) you get the same results as with shift-wheel and command-wheel...
