snowflakeschance Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Does anyone know of a GPS unit that is specifically designed to work with Google Earth. I need to gift one for a Google Earth enthusiast. Quote
+Airmapper Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I don't believe there is. Most GPS units are capable of saving their data as a file, and you can get a program like GPSBable to convert it to Google Earth KML file for viewing. Quote

Google Earth can read GPX-files. I believe that all GPSr create data that can be converted to GPX-format using GpsBabel or GSAK. Quote
robertlipe Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 The Plus and Pro versions of Google Earth supports most Garmin and Magellan (excluding Roadmate) receivers. http://earth.google.com/userguide/v4/ug_gps.html Magellan support in Earth4 is spotty in the current betas, but I'm hopeful that'll be worked out before it goes final. There are over a hundred supported receivers, so it's probably best to ask about a specific model. Quote
