View Your Flight in Google Earth

by Mr. Flight on April 30th, 2006

Google-Earth-Flying-TracklogsAre you as addicted to Google Earth as I am? Ever “fly” around recreating your past or planned flights? Have a GPS that can record track-logs? Using a new website called goFLYING you can export the track-logs from your GPS and visualize your tracks within Google Earth.

There are even some really nifty color coding features which show you your relative altitude. You can view some sample tracklogs from their site to see just how cool this is. This system might also prove valuable to people in flight training to visualize just how well you can fly a rectangular course or how consistent you are entering and lapping holds.

You can visit the site here. Thanks to Rich for pointing out the site to us!
