    Anyone thought of going with NASA WorldWind over Google Earth? It's a whole lot easier to cache tiles, it's open source, and highly customizable. Comments?

    Yes but the latest version of GE does not require Goops or Earhbridge justy some sensible NMEA sentences via a serial port and appropriate GPS setttings in GE (Tools/GPS/Realtime).

    Im interested in this as well, is there a way to interface either TCP socket or API (and java?) with Google Earth?
