Google Earth

[+frefel]

As described in a previous post I tried to drag and drop a GPX file into Google Earth on my DT; nothing happened. Can someone please explain how to do this and what else one can do with GE?

Thanks.

Open Google Earth.

In the menu top left File / Open...

In the window that comes up at the bottom select "Files of type" GPX

 

When the file is opened in the Places tool under Temporary Places you'll find GPS device, under that you'll see your Waypoints, Tracks and Routes

 

PS just tried it and drag&drop should do the same so you probably just have to look at the Temporary Places to see your data.

 

Good luck

Not really important, but are we talking about the Free Google Earth, or one of the upgrade levels?

 

If so hopefully the $20 and not the several hundred one

 

Thanks

Works fine in free version.

This sounds interesting. Is Google earth free? (A version of it anyway) And it can be used for caching? How do you set this up?

You can download a free version of Google Earth here.

you'll have to wait for the images but you could still be in awe of Google Earth

Google Earth looks good, if I get a new computer it will probably be one of the first things that gets installed. Will have to stick with terraserver for now, even that is slow. Thanks.
