kobo arc 7 and google earth

withavee · 02-16-2014, 03:17 AM

Hi all. I am new to my arc and have been unable to run Google earth. It downloads and installs from the "get apps" app but when I try and open it I get a brief screen with the globe and a question at the top of the screen on for too short a time to read. It has 2 blue boxes, the right of which is OK. Neither box responds to touch and the app then closes and I'm back to the home screen.
Question option only appears at first try after that I get just the globe unless iI uninstall and reinstall. Have tried installing via browser and chrome with the same results.

Any thoughts?

Peter

Just noticed this. There is a "beta testers" thread way back were this was reported, I guess Kobo ignored it. I am looking for any app that will display a KMZ/KML route (from My Tracks).
