connect usb gps instead of just serial port

To make it possible to play your track in Ge with time data, that you can see when you been at some place

speed readout in kmph option seems to show mph values. Pls check this.

If possible, saving almanac data to get a fast fix

Make track information persistent and resilient to application crashes or restarts. The track data stream that the application generates should not just disappear every time something happens with the application. Ideally, you should be able to turn on Earth Bridge and just leave it on for days, confident that every move is being safely stored. When you’ve just mapped out a cool off-road route it’s really sad to see all the track data just disappear.

You’ve already put an “Earth Bridge Remote Control” screenshot on your website as an upcoming feature. What would be really useful is to have a very tiny status widget that can stay on top all the time and just shows GPS reception status so you know you’re still receiving. I’ve ended up going past key waypoints many times because I thought there was still some way to go untill the GE marker, but in fact the pointer was just frozen. Of course it you could combine the tiny status widget with your remote control it would be truly useful.

It would be nice to have an option to send any custom commands to GPS port before actual data receiving begins
Try to imagine situation where data comes from mobile phone data call and mobile phone modem is the COM port.
So the minimum amount of info I need to give to modem is:
AT+FCLASS=0 to set phone in data mode
ATS0=1 so that the phone will automatically pick up the data call

Now, when incoming data call is detected, the modem automatically picks up the call in data mode and GPS data can be received in Earth Bridge.

It should be an option to have the viewing height change as you speed up and slow down. It should be close down when you are going slow and far up when you are going fast.

I would like to have an option that Earth Bridge shows time in sub-seconds unit. I also would like to have another option that the program syncronize PC time with GPS.

After long journeys the KML file and the track shown in GE seem to become unwieldy for GE to handle, sometimes flickering and even disappearing. Also the number of points are not necessary. It would therefore be great if you could add an ability to set the number of track points you want Earth Bridge to store for every measure of distance (meters) or time (minutes:seconds)

Earth Bridge should be able to detect when you're not moving (e.g. when each updated gps coordinate is within some limit of precision).
Currently, when you're standing still the View Direction (when set to Follow) will jump around in every direction. The View Direction should be made to stabilise at the last known real direction of movement.
Also, the track points should not be stored when in the same location.

It would be very nice to have ability to share GPS coordinates over internet with another computer, which would have also Earth bridge installed. In that case, it would be possible to see the location of the GPS device from a remote system.

Using the software on a PC in a vehicle means that operation should be as keyboard free as possible and the application should be able to wake up and reconnect after the PC has been in sleep mode. Unfortunately the current version crashes after sleep mode, and you have to get the keyboard out and restart it manually. Crash error signature is: Event Type:clr20r3 P1: earthbridge.exe P2: 0.9.4.34 P3:43e287f9 P4: system P5: 2.0.0.0 P6:471ebf0d P7: 3bc0 P8: b5 P9:system.objectdisposedexception

We are making GE5 tours with points of interest along the trails. It would be great if you could use the real time GPS Location aware capability to display the tour balloons when you get within 200 ft of the point on the trail. This would be a hand held trail docent. A fabulous education tool. Also could combine with Google Latitude to see friends on trail.
