You can enter Lat/Lon like 34, -122

But goto view and click 'Lat/Lon Grid'

Then enter Lat/Lon like 34, -122 or browse the globe with Lat/Lon grid.

Stop being a cheap @ss and get Earth Plus....jk. I recently worked on a project to track hurricane and predict the path using time analysis. I used Google Earth free version. The site
Code: Select all
http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map
allows you to enter GPS points, overlays and many more! First convert your data into .csv(do in Excel .xls -> save as .csv) . Then go to the site and make sure you define the headers long (west is taken negative). cut and paste from ur .csv (open with wordpad) to the file or u can directly load it. Here is screen shot:

Press "Draw map" and Voila! Here is the screen shot of some of the hurricanes' tracks of 2005 from my project

P.S: Consider donating some money to this great site if you are using it for commercial purposes. :D
