[ST] Garmin to World Wind

["Mike Bostock" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have Garmin tracks (or for that matter any GPS tracks) you can
convert them and show them as an overlay on NASA World Wind.

If you haven't heard of World Wind then go here
http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/

Steps

Download G7ToWin
http://www.gpsinformation.org/ronh/g7towin.htm

Convert the .gdb file to a .plt file ("Open" then "Save As")

Download "PLT to NASA World Wind"

http://worldwind.czart.net/

Then convert the .plt file.

When you next start World Wind your track is available as an overlay.

C:\Program Files\NASA\World Wind 1.3\Add-ons\Earth is the location of the
overlay data.

If you can't be bothered to convert one yourself to see how it looks then
the trip Neil, Daryl, Andy and I took in May of this year can be found
