+TetrAmigos Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 My most ocmmon pocket query is used to show me local caches within a certain terrain, difficulty, havn't found caches, etc. Google Earth's awesome geocaching KML shows all caches. Is there a way to import my .gpx pocket query file directly into Google Earth, and quit using the KML? It can be confusing browsing for geocaches. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 drag the .GPX file onto the google earth icon on your desktop thats it Quote Link to comment

+TetrAmigos Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Success! Albeit not as easily interactive as the KML, at least it's just my GPX. I wish Google Earth extrapolated from teh .gpx what is a Multi, what is a Traditional, etc. Quote Link to comment
+alexrudd Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Use GSAK and the expanded Google Earth macro. It shows different icons for each type, difficulty, terrain... Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 drag the .GPX file onto the google earth icon on your desktop thats it Or just use File ==> Open if you are not a drag and drop type of person. Just change the file type to "GPS" in the file opening dialog box. Quote Link to comment
