To see my tracks, I save my data from RealSpeed as a GPX file, which is the default anyway. Start up Google Earth and then drag your GPX file into it off your desktop. Google will then spin around and zoom into where you sailed and show your tracks, nifty

I can't believe that Googlemaps does that!!! I've been trying to drag them and fit them onto a BMP!!!

That's awesome, thanks for letting me know!!

I can drag a GPX file in, it appears in a folder under temporary places, but I cant see anything. The GPS option in the tools menu says I need the Google Plus Version, am I being a gumby and doin somethin wrong

I guess its the same thing but I just open the GPX file from Google Earth menu. It then does the fancy spin around and zoom bit. Don't think you should need Google Earth Plus.

Haggar, just upgrade. Its free, or it was when I did it.
When you have it, tab "file/open" type of file GPX, find your GPX file you saved from real speed, in you C drive or where ever, and tab that file. loads straight up.

Post if it works

i know this isn't too far off topic but since i use a foretrex201 i saw a vid on dave w.'s foretrex wherein he changed the time interval i think to 2secs. instead of the defaulted i think 3 or 30mins..so my question what does this do since i really don't upload and watch tracks and the speeds....cheers

before you save the image next time.

right hand mouse click on the GPX file which you have loaded up in google e

bring up properties,

in there somewhere there is the option for changing the width and colour of the track


can make the detail of the tracks a lot easier to see.

Ha Ha - it was my slowest run!! I seem to get that sort of thing quite often with my tracks - it's like I head upwind for a mile or two - but never go back downwind!!

There you all go- fastest spots to sail around Brisbane. Pity all of the banks have big kinks in them. No secrets now

Thank's Elmo another handy hint

Thank's also mkseven & frant, didn't realize I could do it via the menu
This method allows SBN files to work, where the drag & drop method didn't.

Interesting tracks in the photo section guys, it gives me an idea where you all sail

Hey Bender, those tracks of mine were when I got my distance PB, one K less than your Pb
