Google Earth - computerized log book

[PhantomLord]

Great Idea!

Unfortunatly there´s no KM-Grid-Overlay for Google Earth. But you can convert the grid coordinates into lattitude / longitude with the MQK-Converter

Hi guys. I'm back. I've been spending too much time in the hospital. What is this "Google Earth", where do I get it, are there instructions on how to use it?

Is it usable with SHIII vanilla or just GWX?

What's amazing is that Google Earth actually has a GPS Import tool, even though it's locked if you don't shell out $20 for the Plus version, which I don't intend to do as I'm not paying $20 just for that feature. This means that I could actually bring the family GPS with me, turn it on and leave it in one of the kayak's cargo hold, and then have it track my journey and import the data from it into Google Earth. I'd have a 99% accurate path showing my exact route.

But nah, not worth it.

Tried to make a Video tutorial, but FRAPS only recorded the map part of the screen, not the windows and toolbars, so it's a no-go, sorry.

Great idea Safe-Keeper

I thought since I was just starting out a new career I would give it a whirl.

Here is U-35's 1st war patrol Sept. 1940

To view in Google Earth

1) Open Google Earth
2)Under the Add tab open network link
3)Type in the following link http://home.comcast.net/~czarejs/sh3/u35.kmz (You could also just click the link, but than you have to download the file and drag it to Google earth, but its easier just to type it in)

It was a good patrol... to start with (Capital ship alert!:p )

I think this is because FRAPS will only capture the DirectX/OpenGL rendered part of the app - the Toolbars and Windows etc are rendered by Windows (GDI). Is there an option in FRAPS to capture GDI?

This is an excellent idea...
