The Bits 2.0

Own a GPS receiver but not willing to pay USD20/yr for Google Earth Plus?

No worries! Earth Bridge is here to the rescue. As long as your GPS receiver is interfaced to your computer via a NMEA compatible interface (using serial port, bluetooth virtual serial port, etc), chances are you can begin plugging in your GPS to your PC, fire up Earth Bridge and Google Earth and begin high tech navigation.

No 3G on your notebook? Wireless roaming too expensive? Just set Google Earth’s cache to 1500MB, restart it and using a live internet connection, run Google Earth through the places you’re likely to be visiting. When ready to go, just unplug your internet connection and start navigating, but do not exit Google Earth.
