BeeLine GPS and Google earth

[bigredbee]

The BeeLine GPS can now generate Google Earth data files from the on-board track it stores during flight!

While I haven't been able to fly lately, here's some data from a recent commute:

and a "simulated" flight:

The simulated flight is pretty cool, especially when you set up a 3D view from about a 45 degree elevation, and rotate the view.

That area is a little bit congested for flying rockets, though.

I would love to see an actual flight profile, do you expect to have one soon?

Too Kewl Greg.

I will try to fly my Bee GPS tomorrow and try it out.

Wow, very very cool. I need to get my Ham license and get one of these soon

I'll get some test flights in soon, hopefully, if it ever STOPS RAINING. Our first 'real launch' of the year is in May, so definitely then.

Just to be clear, this functionality requires a firmware upgrade, so existing BeeLIne GPS's already out there won't do this until I release the new code.

Sweet! Nice work, Greg!

Now I just need to pony up and get me a HAM license, one of your transmitters, a Yagi and a handheld receiver. Too cool.

Do you take credit cards?

Hey Greg, that is too cool.

BTW, I got the BeeLine package yesterday. Very fast service! I'll report back on the details here. Once Nelson and I have flown it a few times, I'll contact you for the GPS.

Thanks again for the great service!
