Hi all,

Ive been using the import gps tool in google earth, to upload GPS tracks and routes from my Garmin eTREX vista into Google Earth, but fro some reason when i switch to google maps the track doesnt copy over.
As you know, Google Earth is not very detailed for rural Irlenad, especially the mountains, but Google maps would be handy for giving directions etc.
Any one know how I could import gps data into google maps or even virtual earth maps?
appreciate any help.

Regards

I've not done anything recently with it, but ages ago I used GPSVisualizer to get various Google Maps overlays for my traces.
