Re: Different Data from the same source

Hello,

until now I found no solution how to get the total length of a path in
GEarth.
My wish is to use the WBT GPS Receiver with my Mac and not with windows.

The Win Software of the GPS Receiver creates kml files with more
information in it then gps babel does.

The data which GPS babel converts is enough for me, I only miss the total
length of a path.

Is there any solution?

Thank you for helping.

Thomas
