Re: Plotting gps data on free Google Earth



For those who already have Mapsource, the latest rev will upload
waypoints, tracks and routes to GE.

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.
