Instead of the Earth Stumbler, try this Netstumbler -> Earthstumbler -> Google Earth

It worked much better for me

well duh... you're Usonian, and i'm pretty sure that Ubd is Australian (correct if wrong)
This thread is sick. I learnt a heap.

Guys how much does support for new GPS units suck in Google Earth? (I even bought Plus to try and get it to work properly, buh bow!) trying to get a Garmin Bluetooth GPS 10 to play nice with it....

Theres a thread on these forums somewhere that has something called coms2test that works much better than the support Google have built into Earth.

Made up a sick little tour of the project I'm on this week if any of you are bored :-P

The program title is CommTest2 and can be found at GoogleEarth GPSR Tracking

Just finished working with another fellow from Aust. Looked at the web site to see what was done with the software. I swear the two of you are just a stones throw away from each other.

Sorry about the no road maps. Its way out of my contol. I hope it gets better for you.

Oh yeah. CommTest2 works in Ozzie land also. Much better that I first anticpated. Took the programs out for a drive last night. GE cached data set is phenom. Amazing what you can do with a notebook and a GPSr. Happy driving is what I always say.

Excellent post - I am just getting my car pc organised at the moment and am still in that crazy research mode (have done ALOT of reading of all these forums over the last 2 weeks)

Can the UBD be integrated nicely with any of the front ends or is that wishful thinking?
