No I dont think so, atleast its never been discussed. I was hoping for a plugin that allows TF into Google Maps which has more upto date Aerial Photos.

Though I WOULD be glad for the Fix I need and the ability to see HOW many sats I am connected to and what Strength are they at.

No current way, but likely coming soon.  I haven't looked at the details, but seems like a natural thing to add as a plugin / separate window type of thing.

It would be nice if it could Overlay the map maybe transparent settings. Also a way to minimize the Live tracking box would be nice.

Live tracking can be minimized -- it's got the button.

Or do you mean something else?

Well I was thinking of something like an overlay in the corner with adjustable transparency. Then have number of Sats and their signal strength. That might be a good feature. I know I would love it, I know MS uses it.
