Thread: GooPs Real-time GPS Tracking and Navigation for Google Earth -Version 2.5.13 Released

I noticed a typo (I believe...) on the Goops web-page in reference to the built in record/playback capability and the ability to save a trip in KML/KMZ, limited to the PLUS version, instead of the PRO version.

Also, is there any provision for displaying speed in knots?

Thx

Thanks Abeh,

Good catch on the typo. Actually you can save kml/kmz with Free, Plus, and Pro. It's just the NMEA log record/playback that is Pro only.

I'll do the speed in knots in the next release.

Hi,

Sorry you're having problems. I'm looking into this issue.

Would you be able to send me some debug info? Here's how:

Run GooPs
Connect your GPS
Check "Enable Debug Log" in the options dialog
Press "Connect" in the options dialog (in the GPS area).
Let it run for a minute and send me the file goopsDebug.log (it will
be in the directory you are running GooPs from). My email address is mygoops@gmail.com.

Thanks

You may also want to check your GPSgate settings. I had another user who resolved a similar issue by setting an "option to input gpas signal" (maybe he meant gps signal) in GPSgate.

I bought it today right after trying!

Could you add an option for custom timestamps? Right now it seems set to 5min.
And is there a way to see the exact speed of traveling after the route is finished, besides the color?

Thanks oMLeTTe,

I'm glad you're enjoying GooPs. Those are good suggestions. You can get the approximate speed in the SpeedTrack list in the GooPsServers link in the Places folder in Google Earth.

What if the timestamp had a configurable interval and showed speed and altitude in addition to the time?

Anychance of adding Track Heading (In Degrees) as a selectable attribute to the Cursor ( in addition to speed, altitude etc...).
Also, another nice feature would be the ability to display "Projected (Anticipated ) Track" from the current location given the current track heading.
The Projected Track Length could also be configurable as a function of current speed.

Hope this makes sense !

Thx

Hey Abeh,

I'm not sure what you mean by "Projected Track". Would that be projecting a line along the current heading?
