Leave everything on the complicated form exactly how it is and the
only thing you have to enter is the UPLOAD field for where your *.GPX
file is on your hard drive. The web site converts it directly to a
*.KML file. Save it then click on it and your Google Earth starts up
and it is in true 3D mode to view the track of the plane.
Great idea, but it doesn't seem to work. I just converted one of
my flight tracks, and in Google Earth most of it is underground
or right through mountains.
I suspect a units mistake. Looks as if it interprets meters as
feet or some such.
Too bad, I would have liked it.

p.s. Oops, I found the cause of the problem. I had set Tools,
Options, View, Rendering, Elevation Exaggeration to 3. After
setting it back to 1 the tracks appeared above ground, where
they should be.
If you like to see the results, please open
http://www.michna.com/kenya2006/ and scroll way down to the
chapter, "2006-06-11 – Lake Turkana".
At the end of that chapter you find instructions on how to
repeat the flight virtually in Google Earth.
