It installed okay using the shell script but I get this error when I try to run:

/opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin: relocation error: /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.8: symbol BIO_test_flags, version OPENSSL_0.9.8 not defined in file libcrypto.so.0.9.8 with link time reference.

It opens the splash screen, then the main screen and the startup tip window, which is blank, then it crashes.

I fixed it by renaming /opt/google-earth/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 to /opt/google-earth/libcrypto.so.0.9.8.bak. This forces google-earth to use systems libcrypto.

At times my work requires me to visit many different properties during the course of a day. With the cost of fuel (and my time) I like to plan out the most efficient route to visit all these locations; going from one location to the next - until I’m back home.

geweb.net has developed a google map application that does this. Just keep adding addresses in any order and then click on Calculate Fastest Roundtrip!

Idealroute.com has tapped into the same application but has made the user interface a little more friendly.
