3D Route Builder for Google Earth. It offers fine grain control of routes directly in Google Earth not only in terms of positioning and altitude but also in time. Easily shift and scale time, correct barometric drift, synch to video files and build accurate GPS (GPX), KML/KMZ and Garmin TCX files from scratch or from existing files. Playback routes in real-time and optionally with absolute altitude - that means tunnels, bridges, cable car rides and flights take on new levels of realism.

18 April 2008: Google Earth 4.3 is out and the new day-night settings are beautiful. However there are on some PCs issues for 3D Route Builder so we recommend either keeping hold of your old GE installer or installing on a different PC to test. See here for more details. Basic rule with Google Earth is always keep hold of all your installers! If you didn’t then you can always give File Hippo a go!
