Today I tried the free Google Earth client "gaia" for the first time (http://gaia.serezhkin.com/) and connected it to FlightGear:
$ mkfifo /tmp/gaia $ fgfs --garmin=file,out,0.1,/tmp/gaia --aircraft=ufo & $ gaia --gps=nmea:///tmp/gaia This makes a nice "moving" map. OK, it's not moving yet, but you see a trace of red dots in a full resolution Google Earth data window. I'm not happy with the update speed yet, but that should be easy to fix. (I think that gaia always stops sharpening the image when a new nmea package comes in.) Blurry screenshot (due to low jpeg quality; the red cursor in the lower half is much easier to see): http://members.aon.at/mfranz/fgfs-gaia.jpg [18 kB] m. PS: cc to the gaia author. Thanks for that wonderful program! see here for info about fgfs: http://www.flightgear.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
