Google Earth Plus and GPSout

[Giorgio Donadel Campbell]

Hi Peter do you know this new map wonderfull software?http://earth.google.com/products.html

I tried to use its Garmin or Magellan serial GPS connection with different FS9 GPSout baud rates (as I perfectly do with FliteMap) but it does't work.

Can you look at it as I'm not a serial port expert or can you add it to other supported map software?

Thanks,

Giorgio

I tried it recently because there is a freeware program being made which will link to it from FlightSim using the FSUIPC interface.

Sorry, I wasn't aware that it took a COM port interface too. I'm afraid for that you'll need to get support from Google to see what sentences they need. If they are standard NMEA ones which I don't currently support I can add them, but I think you'll find I already support all of those which include the Latitude and Longitude.

Can you look at it as I'm not a serial port expert or can you add it to other supported map software?

I don't support any specific map software, only specific standard NMEA or Aviation format outputs. That is what you need to ascertain.

I'm not terribly interested in looking specifically at this way of doing it when there will be the better (more direct) way provided soon from a third party author. I'll ask him if I can yet release details, or else get him to write to you.

Regards,

Many thanks Peter and Juergen Haible.

I tested the Juergen Haible's software. It is very good.

Now I have either GPSout Com FliteMap, either FSUIPC

MyFsGoogleEarth.

Thanks again
