Auto Save

I would like to see a Auto Save that saves your work every 1, 2 or 3 minutes added to Google Earth as I am getting frustated after spend 20 to 30 minutes adding and updating Placemarks only to lose all the work I'e done because Google Earth CRASHES.

Even a Save button on the Places box so we could save as we go.

Hi there

This feature has been asked for many times since the early days of Google Earth..

You can go to the Google Earth help group and ask there :-)


But you can manage this yourself though.

If you are working in a Folder you save that folder frequently..   But  save the folder with a different name each time...

ie   Save as   save1   then in 5 minutes time  save as  save2  then  save3    -  save4  etc  After say a week or longer if you wish Start back at save1

This way you can go back to the last saved folder

Another thing to try is most things we have in our  MyPlaces in Google earth we don't need often..  So save those folders out  and just load them in when required make edits and resave.

Some Crashes can be cause by a MyPlaces file that is corrupted or to large.
