Plotting gps data on free Google Earth



Too cheap to pay for Google Earth with gps interface? (Like me!)
There's a number of apps that will allow you to plot tracks and
waypoints on the free version; some are free, some cost a few bucks.
Some allow for plotting real-time NMEA data as well.

My own app, GEtrax, is at http://web.295.ca/~gpz550/GEtrax/
(shareware).
A friend's app, Bungee, is at
http://www3.sympatico.ca/gheppens/bungee.htm (also shareware).
OziExplorer now supports writing a simple track to GE (Google Earth),
as does the free TrackMaker at http://www.gpstm.com/
There's others that are web-based. A Google search should find them.

Each have their own advantages/disadvantages, the choice is yours.

It's really interesting to plot tracks on GE, especially 3D flight
paths. The GEtrax page above has some zipped examples.
