What else do I need to replay my route on google earth?

I have a pocket pc, gpsdash and a gps receiver.
I have completed a trip that I was logging with gpsdash to a .nmea file.
Now I would like to see my route projected on to a map. What would be the
best package to install for this purpose?

Thanks and regards,
Philip.

Thanks for that tip. The file saved by GPSDash was usable by gpsvisualizer
although they couldn't show an image at that scale (my trip was too short)
and it wasn't worht looking at after zooming out far enough for it to match
the available imagery.

| similar question-
using magellan meridian and saved .wpt files, can they be viewed on google
earth or virtual earth? can four waypoints representing property corners be
seen on a satellite /Arial map by google virtual earth etc...
thanks in advance

Not sure what format Magellan's .wpt files are in but GPSVisualizer can
handle many formats:

And if that form doesn't work, GPS Visualizer also hosts an on-line
gateway to GPSBabel:

| thanks to the both of you for your replies. both links work but i'm
disappointed in the resolution of the google map.
waypoints and tracks are visible but when zooming in to a level that
displays the extent of the 40 acre parcel the google image is blurry and
pretty useless. i can get a better view of the property in question from
virtual earth. most of the usgs sat. images are better as well however they
are older and don't show the improvements to the property and the timber
trails so the image must be before 2003. however it is satisfying to know it
can be done. now i need better images.

The resolution varies a lot from region to region, not a lot we can do
about that. To get better resolution you'd need to buy in mor detailed
satellite or more acurately aerial photography for your area (the
higher resolution mapping is not satellite photography).

| understood. virtual earth has a great view of the property. timber trails,
tent platform, pond, stream, trees and rocks, etc..
what i'll try to do now is get the waypoints onto a copy of that map.
thanks for the reply.

Oziexplorer will display your waypoints and tracks on Google Earth. If
your gps is a
handheld like the Garmin Etrex or 76 or similar from other Mfg. you can
download the waypoints to the program.
OziExplorer supports most of the popular handheld gps receivers.
Once the waypoints or tracks are downloaded on on a map, click on
Save/Export to Google Earth. Check
what you want to Export and click on View data in Google Earth.
OziExplorer will start Google Earth
and show your data.

Maemo mapper generates on-the-fly a track (route) already projected on
to Google Earth/ Google Maps map
in real-time.
There is no need for any conversion and a use of third party software.
Excellent solution.
