File conversion site - lost the link - help!

[+Pioneer Poodle]

I know how to download a track file from my Garmin GPSMap60. It comes down in .gdb format. A year ago I became aware of an online site that would convert this file format into a Google Earth file (kml?), and do it free, and virtually instantly. The user simply uploads the gdb file, waits a few moments, and the site pops up a link to the converted file which can then be downloaded. I used the site several times, loved it, corresponded with the owner - and lost the link. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

 

Thanks

I don't know about the site you're talking about, but there is a free piece of software you can download that will do what you want.

GPS Visualizer is a good website for online GPS conversions. The specific link to convert your data for use in Google Earth is here.

 

Best of luck.

If you have MapSource, you an upload your tracks and waypoints, then transfer all the data into Google-Earth automatically using the "View in Google Earth" feature, then save your tracks and/or waypoints as kml files.
