Garmin Forerunner 201 Track Overlays Using Google Earth Plus and Photoshop CS2.

Posted on July 02, 2006


The GPS track overlay images coming out of Google Earth Pro aren’t doing it for me. One can barely see the immutable one pixel wide track on the map. What’s a hardcore geek to do? Well, break out some mad h4x0r Photoshop skills, that’s what. I invented a new process whereby I make a non-antialiased (aliased?) 4-pixel wide trace over the wonky-ass default one, and then apply a stroke and bevel layer style. So, if you have a Garmin Forerunner 201 GPS Watch, a copy of Photoshop CS2, a Google Earth Plus subscription, and run about on somedays, you should do this and put it on your Flickr Pro account.

I created a couple of satellite overlay maps from a run in Ohio and West Virginia. You can view them here.
