HI EVERYONE
I messed up MAP, every time I click on a call sign it goes to the last page I viewed. How doe I reset when I click on a call it goes to QRZ.com site?
Then once thats set how do I get Google earth to click so I can get a satelite or Google map view?
I just do not have a clue on what I am doing with this.

Check if you have set the options "Auto Google Maps" and "Auto Google Earth" in the Map menu. Uncheck the menu items, when you don't like to use it automatically.
To see a country in G.Earth or G.Maps just use the Map menu. The active county will be used. The station view in GE will work only, when the qrz.com look up shows the grid square (ww-locator), or the grid square is logged with the qso.

Hi Tom
No GEarth and GMap just goes back to the last web page I have open.
I keep Safari open all the time. If that makes any difference.
I tried it a couple of days ago and the Mac asked me what program to direct that function to and I chose Safari. I think thats part of my problem and do not know how to correct it. So what do I do and look for ????
Your explanation explains why some times I had issues as well. So no Grid listed sure explains that one.

Are you sure, you have installed Google Earth on your computer?

Really. Goes to show you I do not know what I am doing.
Is there a version of Google Earth for Mac? Where do I down load it from and what directory do in install it in?

Up-graded to RUMLog version 3.8.3 problems disappeared

That helped a bunch. Thank-you
How do I check to see Google Earth is working? I have not found a call sign that gives me a satellite view as of yet.

Got it. In "Show Locator In...." I unchecked Google Maps and inserted the locator and brought me right to the Satellite view. Both Google Map and Earth were checked.
