Trust you were able to get GCS working as per the comments on this forum..... a Google Earth installation problem or modification of the Google Earth program configuration by something else.
Also watch out for a miswired USB cable with the double head as provided by DJI for the base radio. Mine had some wires crossed in the extra head that nearly burned out my Notebook PC.

Faulty DJI GCS USB cables?
With all the Quality Assurance directed toward the complex electronics, firmware and software, it is unlikely time and effort would be invested by DJI to investigate the quality of a cheap cable they had produced by a 3rd party cable manufacturer.
But a $2.00 faulty cable can potentially do hundreds of dollar damage to customer's computers!!

thankyou arial media pros for basic solution to program installation error...it worked for me.The real question is how do you load google map on line...save it for offline use later in the field??Usb faulty plug ca be checked for proper data/power pinouts with a multimeter...sinc kp couch

That really caught me off guard......as I had intended to swap out that short cable for one slightly longer for the field.
A cable with the same plug gender at both ends is quite uncommon but I did find one. Now I need to do a detailed continuity test before using it.
And then there is the issue of voltage drop on longer cables with only 5 volts from which to start.
The type A USB cable pinouts are as follows: http://pinouts.ru/Slots/USB_pinout.shtml

Glad it's working for most of you. Alas I still can't get it working! 
mine starts up ok and google earth loads too (after removing entry from hosts file) (eg I get te world map load up on the screen when opening the ground station), however 'connect' is greyed out and also there is nothing in the drop down box next to it (no COM1 or PORT1 etc)
Re checked hosts file (no google entries there)
checked device manager (I have no COM or PORT listed - the datalink is plugged in and listed under 'other devices' - "USB-Serial Controller D" but it says there is no driver installed....
"This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)The system cannot find the file specified.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."
I have tried re-installed the driver from the disc several times - it must be installed because when I try to re-install is it asks me if I want to un-install it first...
I've totally run out of ideas and pulling my hair out!

Thanks for your reply, although as above... it says its already installed (and I have tried re-installing multiple times).
If I run the disc and select to install the driver I get this: (which would indicate the driver is already installed)
Nevertheless I select to remove and then re-install. I've even tried it by running the install files directly on the disc.
Weird huh?

Isn´t it recommended (in the manual) to install the driver first, and connect the GS-receiver after that?
