Google Earth and GPS tracks!


Those of us who have played with google (http://earth.google.com/) earth know how cool it is.

Now along comes a program that will allow us to add GPS tracks to google earth! Have not tried it yet, but looks like a cool addition. We can now "fly" the route we drove! And probably view our favorite annotated camping spot from all angles

PRESS RELEASE - SPORTSIM WITH GOOGLE MAPS AND GOOGLE EARTH ADD ON

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005 - Asker, Norway

Latest Version of Sportsim takes GPS Athletes to the Google level.

The introduction of free mapping services from Google Inc. with Google Maps and Google Earth in the last months has revolutionized the way we view maps on the Internet.

Sportsim has today released a new software version with these Google add-ons:

Create your own Google Maps web site with 2D map view of GPS track.

Create your own Google Earth file and fly in 3D terrain over your GPS track.

Import Map layers from Sportsim to Google Earth.

I just installed the latest version of Mapsource (Garmins program for waypoint loading to the GPSr) and it allows GPS tracks to be viewed on Google Maps. Before that was only available in the 'Plus' version which was not free. Google maps did allow importing of waypoints, but having the tracks too is great.
