Transfering way points from G-earth to Map sourse.

[VAL. H.]

Is this possible?

I have some way points saved on Google Earth and was hoping I might be able to drag them across to Map source, but it didn't work. Tried Copy & past, that didn't work either.

Am I going to have to manually type in the co-ords or is there a way to transfer them across?

If this info is already on here, could some kindly person please point me in the right direction? I have had a look round, but came up blank 'all though I could probably get to one of Wattons favorite pubs now'.

Type into Google kml to gpx converter...

Download one of the programs you find...

Save your waypoints from Google Earth as kml files to your desktop (or wherever)
Run the kml to gpx converter of your choice on the file...

Open the resulting GPX file in Mapsource... copy them to whatever collection suits your fancy... or use the GPX file with POI Loader and use them that way...

Not as easy as dragging them, but not too bad...

Val,

This should do what you want not sure if it works on Vista.
