Sh3 and Sh4 use lattitude and longitude as coordinates, but scaled up to make them 120km per degree. I see no reason why those cannot be converted to lattitude and longitude coordinates used by Google Earth. Only the timestap of such a waypoint would make no sense. Circling the polar circles would appear to have been done at much slower speed than done realistically. (log points in GE look close together, yet the time between was long due to SH's strechted polar areas, hence slow appearant average movement)

The question is how such a track is going to be exported out of the game. Through a text log-file, or perhaps the developers are kind enough to provide a kind of "shared memory" function, similar to how Falcon 4 provides instrument data for players with cockpit hardware.
