Save as a GPX file and then open with Mapsource.

You can upload the kml to http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input and convert it to a gpx.

There is no need. Google Earth can save as a GPX directly.

I can only save KMZ or KML, no clue how 2 save gpx

I was just looking at Google Earth. I agree, I could only save as kml or kmz. Could someone explain how to save as a gpx?

If you want to pay $400 for google earth pro you can save as GPX...

Use GPS Visualizer.

 

You import a KML and convert it to a GPX. Simple.

So do you down load the GPS Visualizer. or can only convert on the net i found the page but can not see how you us it.

 

and i thought it was going to be easy? did try GPSbable but far to hard to understand for me.

 

thanks for all your help

You don't need to download any programs.

 

On the GPS Visualizer front webpage, there's a box that reads "Get Started Now". Click on "Browse" and select your KML. Change the file type to GPX in the output fromat drop down list and press "Go". You will get a download link for the GPX file. Right click and select "Save As".

 

Simple.
