[WIP] Google Earh/Maps Patrol Log

Google Earh/Maps Patrol Log

The program will be similar to the SH5 online log's google maps widget and will allow you to create a kill map out of a patrol save. The map is saved in KML format and can be viewed in Google Earth or shared online with Google Maps.

Limitations: Due to the fact that I didn't manage to find out how or if the coordinates for each kill are saved at all in the career log, the program will work only with saved games of ongoing patrols (that is save games where you have not ended the patrol)

The export is already done, just needs to be cleaned up and tested.

I'm open to new features suggestions. Also, I'd need some ship icons if you have some to replace the standard markers.

My only suggestion would be appropriate (ship) icons instead of the standard "balloons".

I'm still looking for free naval icons. I could use different icons for carriers, destroyers, merchants etc.
