Tracks to Google Earth?

LtRascal · 02-22-2010, 3:34 PM

I have a 60 GSX. As far as my ability to operate this unit. I have the basics but that is about it.

I like to take my GPS with me when I go snowmobiling and would like to show people on Google earth were we where at. I put my tracks on Mapsource but I think the real vew would make more sence to most.

So in slow mans turms. Can I take the track log off of my 60 CSX and show it on Google Earth?

Thanks, Chris

Easiest method since you mentioned having the tracks in Mapsource is to go to Mapsource's View menu and select "View in Google Earth."

I have opened up gpx files in google earth.
When I do this, a tool window comes up like it wants me to "play" the track.
Is there a way to just view the track without that option?
I don't want to watch the GE pan over the track, I just want to see it.
When you choose view in google earth in MapSource, does it open GE? Or does it make a GE compatible file?

When I open mapsource then click the view in google earth. It opens the offical google earth and shows my track on it with all the waypoints and markers.
