It would be prudent to keep products all Internet-based products updated on a regular basis. All updates will need to be installed by direct download from Google's web site. No further updates for Google products (including Google Earth Pro and the Chrome web browser) will be applied to this PC automatically. Google Update Services is now disabled on this PC. Should you wish to disable the Google Update Services: MANIPULATING WINDOWS SERVICES AND APPLICATION FOLDER DIRECTORIES IS DONE SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. TRIMBLE DOES NOT RECOMMEND TAMPERING WITH APPLICATION FILES PROVIDED BY OTHER VENDORS. This is frustrating as the version 7.3.3 release of Google Earth Pro is not compatible with the direct linking offered by Terrain Navigator Pro (and similar products, such as Garmin BaseCamp.) Thus, anyone who wishes to retain version 7.3.2 of Google Earth Pro (for compatibility) is forced to reinstall this older version periodically, unless the Google Update Service is disabled.

However, this service can not be configured to only apply certain application updates - it is all or nothing.

Google makes it difficult to disable these updates - in the interest of ensuring their customers receive these fixes and enhancements. Google has chosen to implement a 'Windows Service' which is used to ensure all of their products (including Google Earth Pro and the Chrome web browser) have the latest patches applied - including security fixes and application enhancements. Until Google rectifies this, if ever, we recommend using an older 7.3.2 version of Google Earth Pro. On May 7, 2020, Google removed/disabled their application linking functionality in version 7.3 of Google Earth Pro (version 7.3.3) - breaking its compatibility with Terrain Navigator Pro. Thus, whenever Google Earth Pro does not appear to be synchronizing properly with Terrain Navigator Pro, we recommend uninstalling Google Earth Pro, and installing (or reinstalling) the previous version. This can be illustrated when Google Earth appears not to be installed, or system messages appear that attempt to reinstall Google Earth, or a variety of other system oddities.

When Google releases updated versions of Google Earth Pro, they may make adjustments that can affect the compatibility with Terrain Navigator Pro (as well as other applications.) In fact, our tests have shown that some versions of Google Earth have many other compatibility issues, including some that are completely independent of Terrain Navigator Pro.
