Ski trails on Google Earth: Very nice!
Take a look at this file (if you have Google Earth):

Terje,
Did you make this? I'm wondering if it needs the premium version of Google Earth to create files like this. It would be cool to archive trails from around the world. chris |

Yes, I did make this from scratch, and NO, I did not need to pay for GE Plus! :-) The key is that you need a GPS anyway to collect the track log, including altitude profiles, right? Using a Garmin GPS, with a current version of MapSource (the free companion PC program), I simply downloaded all the tracks from my GPS, got rid of a few spurious (startup) points, then used the 'View in Google Earth' option! Once inside GE I edited the descriptions and names, and changed the colors for each of the trails I had skied. Terje PS. Going back up there tomorrow, I will try to collect one or two of the still missing trails, like the inner loop of the Silkedalen trail. :-) -- - "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |
