Can you copy a bunch of coords all at once in google earth?

[+tweetiepy]

How do you use google earth? this is a new thing to me. Can I input a whole bunch of coords in it at once and it will put a nice dot where each coord is? I hope it does - can it do that? and if yes, how do I do this?

On topic - you can just drop your Geocaching GPX PQ file into Google Earth and it just works - opens all the caches with cool symbols and clickable info.

 

Generate a .GPX or .LOC file and drop it onto GE to get what you want. I think even a CSV file will work great.

This is a little different, the coords are listed on the cache page as part of the puzzle (there are about 1000 of them) I wanted to see if they made some sort of design that would point to the correct one. So far I think it's a manual job

You might try the Coordinate Grabber.

Could you please explain what you mean by "drop it into Google Earth"? How actually do I do that? What I have tried so far doesn't work, so there must be something I'm missing although it's obvious to you.

Open google earth.

 

shrnk the window a bit so it doesn't fill the whole screen.

 

Drag the GPX file over the top of the Google Earth window and let go of the mouse button. Done.

 

or

 

Just open the GPX file via the menu in GE.

This worked after I saved the gpx file to my computer; just from the download it didn't work.

Just open the GPX file via the menu in GE.

 

This worked after I figured out I had to chage the file-type that GE was looking for.

I bookmarked that! Excellent - turns out it wasn,t necessary - I got some info from the CO and had to work it out another way

 

Thanks everyone
