Simple way to use Google Earth as ground station.

I am looking for use google earth as ground station.
i have download this program.


http://goopstechnologies.com
it is easy to interface to any application:
GooPs can receive data from other applications via a TCP/IP socket. GooPs listens on port 51234 for messages containing NMEA data.

and another similar program:
http://mboffin.com/earthbridge/

it demostrates it is possible but
Where can we found information to handle google earth directly? without bridge programs.

Im interested in this as well, is there a way to interface either TCP socket or API (and java?) with Google Earth?

Yes but the latest version of GE does not require Goops or Earhbridge justy some sensible NMEA sentences via a serial port and appropriate GPS setttings in GE (Tools/GPS/Realtime).

Anyone thought of going with NASA WorldWind over Google Earth? It's a whole lot easier to cache tiles, it's open source, and highly customizable. Comments?

Check out the Google Earth COM API http://earth.google.com/comapi/.
You can use this, combined with the KML network link http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kml_tut.html#network_links
to accomplish something similar.
