I tried this and i have re-installed the lastest version of google earth and i cant seem to get it to work. I can see the PP icon on the menu on the left hand side though?

You have to enable the google earth server in the i/o settings in PP

Hi all,

I've joined the planeplotter train too now.
Was wondering if there was a sector GPX file for all of Australia?
I'm still new to this, and always have to click the OSM button once I pan around.

I'm aware of Google Earth also, but would like to keep everything in 1 program.

Cheers

G'day Carsten,

Welcome to the World of PP. Are you uploading data or just downloading?

I don't know of anybody who has prepared a GPX file for the whole of Australia. I have made up a file for the upper level air routes and waypoints for the NSW area. Also included in the file are all the Australian VORs. I used the EasyGPS software to make up the file. You can use the program to add your own waypoints and routes as required.

PM me if you want a copy.

BTW, you can save our OSM charts so you don't have to download them again.

Cheers,

Noel

hi noel. Just downloading at this stage. Will be uploading hopefully from perth in a few months. Awaiting strata approval for my rig. I'll look into the gpx stuff a bit tonight. I did use the data from the ersa to put all the ifr waypoints into google earth so i hopefully should be able to do the same with gpx. Then just a matter of putting in the coastline and airports and shes banging :-)

Carsten, this link might have what you are looking for. The maps have a similar look to TAAATS screens
