Google Earth integration? (See where you are)

Featured Replies

Hi,

Since i mostly fly in areas im not familiar with (USA for example), I like to have Google Earth open on my tablet and follow my route manually (scrolling). So while the AP does its thing and im in cruise i can look at look at photos of nearby towns, monuments and nature.

 

It would be great if i coul import a flight plan from say Skyvector into Google earth. I dont even need actual tracking. I just want to see lines of where my fightplan takes me in either Google Earth or Maps. 

 

Only way i have found to do this is to go into Google My Maps and create the lines manually using GPS Coordinates of VORs and Waypoints which is much work.

Is their any better way to do this?

Thanks

Simbrief can export your flightplan in Google Earth format.   That's what I do...

Thanks. Will try it this weekend

Hi,

Have you tried Little Navmap? By default it does not include Google maps, but you can download them from this link:
