After upgrading my Google Earth to version 4, the "View/Show On Google

not including the return to version 3?


The GPSBabel distributed with the new Google Earth needs to be updated.
I did this because the new Google Earth wouldn't open saved GPX files from
MapSource or ExpertGPS.

.. 1. Go to your GE install directory, typically it is
.. C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth
.. 2. Rename gpsbabel.exe to gpsbabel-1.3.1.exe
.. 3. Download GPSBabel 1.3.2 from
http://www.gpsbabel.org and
.. unzip the downloaded file
.. 4. Copy gpsbabel.exe and libexpat.dll to Google Earth install directory

I had never used Mapsource to open Google Earth. I just saved a GPX file
and opened that in GE. Today, I tried from Mapsource to GE and it worked.

I have Mapsource 6.11.5 2006-09-21, Google Earth 4.0.2416 2006-10-31, and
GPSBabel Version 1.3.2 2006-10-24.
