SeeYou 3D and Google Earth

[[email protected]]

Have any of you been able to use Google Earth 3D maps with SeeYou
for 3D representations of flights. I think SeeYou 3D is excellent in
all respects except for the detail of their 3D maps. Google Earth is at
least a couple of magnitudes better in detail. With a fast computer, a
good video card and the modern MSN 3D software I have to believe that
SeeYou 3D with Google Earth should result in spectacular 3D flight
presentations. Anyone done it?

Hi Dave,

You might want to check out http://www.hgs.at/igc4google/. I havn't
tried it myself, but it looks like it is able to convert IGC files into
the kml format for viewing in Google Earth.

I don't think it is possible to load Google Earth 3D maps into SeeYou.

I suggest you try WinPilot 3D, 4 times the resolution of SeeYou, most
of the features and more to come. It also has a fly task feature. It
is similar to Google Earth but with the soaring functions.

Not with Google Earth but with NASA OnEarth Landsat 15 m resolution
pictures, yes (the same that are used in NASA WorldWind and WinPilot3D
which is based on WorldWind)

See http://meteo.deltafox.net/landsat.html for how download the pictures
in your area

and http://coupedusudouest.free.fr/ for 15m sat pictures in .cmr files
ready for use in SeeYou for SW France and Morocco

R. Parce que ça rompt le cours normal de la conversation !!!
Q. Pourquoi ne faut-il pas répondre au-dessus de la question ?

There are free, web-based tools for doing exactly that. See my article at
