Converts Google-Earth into a real-time-GPS-Navigation for Laptop and Netbook
The GPS for Google Earth application converts the free Google Earth version into a GPS Navigation for Laptop or Netbook. The own GPS-position it shown and tracked in real time in Google Earth.
In collapsed state it need only a tiny part of the screen while sending streadily your current position to ”Google Earth”.
Also by night, with fog or mist you’ll see your current movement like on a bright day on the screen.
Each tour is automatically recorded. In addition one may play animations of formerly recorded GPS logs.
Each one how owns a Laptop or Netbook has with “GPS for Google Earth” a navigation tool for the road, offroad, on the water or on the air.
In addition one needs only a little GPS receiver. There’s no need to bye a full navigational system. A so called GPS mouse or a GPS USB dongle are available in low cost level.
The connection may be established by cable, USB or Bluetooth. The software itself is’nt restricted to a special manufacturer.
The program works with each GPS Receiver that provides NMEA. But this is the case for all commercially available receivers.
The program is’nt retricted to only one country. The GPS coverage is world wide. Even in fare-away places you’ll find a way there and back.
The problem of the absent internet may be avoided by a little trick:
without internet:
A stock of maps in the web
“Google Earth” obtains all its maps from the internet. The advantage is that a huge stock of maps is available, and streadyly up-to-date. To view terrain and roads (maps, aereal photos, satellite fotos) one needs an internet connection. At home it is no problem.
May I use ”Google Earth” also without internet?
YES: Without internet ”Google Earth” cannot load new maps, but the former visited maps stay in the computer.
The GPS reception works all over the world and is independent of the internet. GPS is an independent system.
Pure web applications (like Virtual Earth and Google Maps) loose their maps without internet connection. Not as ”Google Earth” – it remembers images and maps once shown in the screen in its so called Cache memory. As long as this cache is’nt full all recently ”overflown” Areas are still available.
If you revise calmly at home all interesting areas (you plan to visit on a tour) in ”Google Earth” with an active internet conmection, all this maps stay available in “Google Earth” even after disconnecting the internet. Now you may take the Latop into the car or on the boat and will have all necessary maps “in the bag”. For the GPS navigation internet itself is’nt yet necessary.
In the new version 3 the tool “Cache for Google Earth” is entirely integrated into “GPS für Google Earth” – without surcharge. This gives you the oppotunity to manage different offline maps stocks. It’s no longer a blind chance, when Google Earth deletes older maps cause of a full cache. In fact you may exchange offline cache copies with other computers.
