Version 2.5.1007-R18

The images from Google Earth are coming thru at 1024 x 792. Is there a command or setting to increase the resolution to match Google Earth Pro - Premium: 4800 x 3157 ?

Thx...

You can get the same (and better in many occasions) results by lowering the camera altitude in Google Earth and creating

a Mosaic of images with Plex.Earth. Google Earth Pro follows a similar procedure (internally) to create its high-res images.
