2006 GPS Track for Google Earth

MichaelJ · 09-12-2006, 05:59 PM

I'd upload the KMZ file, but it's not an allowed file type, and the permitted GPX filetype is 16 (count 'em) daily tracks.

If anyone would like the .KMZ, drop me a note at mjordan812 at adelphia.net with your email address and I'll forward it.

16 riding days, about 5,000KM and 7 countries (or is counting Lichtenstein cheating?).

Maybe you could rename your file from whatever.kmz to whatever.kmz.gpx.. The forum probably only looks at the file extension (last three letters), to determine what type of file it is.

Whoever downloads it would then have to rename it back if they wanted to open it correctly on a windows machine.

Sounds like you had a great trip.

I am in Meran/Merano. Your trace shows that you drove through here, but it looks like you did not stop. The dolomites are beautiful, but they are on the other side of South Tirol.

Your trip really looks amazing.
