Exclamation Google Earth - How do I set it up?

Hey all you Google Earth freaks out there. Listen, I love this software and I'd really like to be able to use it while out on trail to look at the trails etc.

I've heard that there is a way to setup Google Earth so that it will work without being connected to the internet.

Can anyone please explain how to do this? It would be killer to import all my GPX trails into Google Earth and have that overhead photo view while out exploring.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Google Earth - How do I set it up?

Thank you. I'll check it. Sometimes I forget to "Google" for it. What happen to the good old days with Altavista search? Everything is Google. FU Google! Just kidding Google is good stuff.

Ok I've got to try this out tomorrow.
