Link to Google Earth

Prototype1

Hi people,
Has anyone had any experience with linking NAV 5.0 to Google Earth? My European Sales team use it to locate Companies and would like a "Button" on the NAV Contact card to Open Google Earth
Thoughts and suggestions most welcome.

Thanks

just to throw it out there you can also use google maps

therefore no extra installation is required

Example: add a command button on the customer card
on the c/al code add

"Map Location"
OnPush()
HYPERLINK('http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=' +Address+' '+"Address 2"+' '+"ZIP Code"+' '+City);

Or Add another Button just change the (start info) to your start info..no with no parenthasis.

"Get Directions"
OnPush()
HYPERLINK('http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=(Your start Street)+(Your Start Zip)+(Your Start City)&daddr='
+Address+' '+"Address 2"+' '+"ZIP Code"+' '+City);

Thanks for the quick response. I will give it a try and see if I can develop the link.

Hi,
Downloaded Waldo's example. With a little adaptation I have included it in my Contact Card and now my Sales people can link directly between NAV and Google Earth. Great. =D>

Thanks
