will it work

[Berne]

google earth it (http://www.medicine.wisc.edu/~mrm/bronco/wisc-moab.gpx)

[Jim]

nope

[Berne]

nope

digging through old testing posts??....

oh, and it DID work for me....

[Crash]

nope :D

[Berne]

nope :D

LIES....

this works.......and is pretty cool!!...

right-click, save as the file....

then there's an option on google-earth to import GPS waypoints.....but there was a trick that I had to change the file extension name from whatever it was to .xml I think....
then a whole bunch of trails in Moab will magically appear for you....

[Crash]

sMALL portion of what I see :D
