Anyone have it?
Anyone use it?
I was looking yesterday to upload Garmin Trax and waypoints and I guess I need GEP. They say it costs $400.
Worth it?

Currently I upload and print jpegs to Topo USA 6.0, pretty nice but I was looking for more.

Like I say, I tried but it won't let you. It says you need to upgrade to GEP.

:(

Paul,
You should be able to upload GPS tracks on the Standard Google Earth. They recently upgraded standard so you don't need the Pro to do that. :?

I've uploaded tracks from my Garmin GPSMax 76CSX into the standard Google Earth recently. Try updating your standard version?

I dl'd GE and don't use it too often. I'll try to upgrade the version I have.

Paul you can use GPS Babel to convert your Garmin GDB's or GPX's to Google Earth KMZ's or KML's, it's free: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/gpsbabel/

Thanks Maki, I was going to ask how you did it with that Gutter stuff we did last year. :up:
