Gig,

that would be a waste of money IMHO. To do pretty much the same
yourself: Use http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ (and possibly
http://www.gpsbabel.org/ before) to convert your GPS track file to a
kml file and open that in Google Earth - presto!

That would work, but the Appareo folks have fine tuned the interface
quite a bit. I did some beta test work with this software, and found it easy
to use. I used my old etrex, flew with an instrument student, and then
played back the flight during debrief. There are lots of views, chase plane,
pilots view, overhead, etc. Of course the aircraft used can be changed, so
when you look from the chase plane, you see your type aircraft. I could come
in from a flight, plug in the etrex, and in 1 minute be reviewing the
flight, much as it looked from the aircraft. Be advised, many GPS's will not
track satellites properly while the aircraft is inverted. This may lead to a
gap in playback ability.
