The latest version of GPS Speed Sentry, a software for PocketPC, now has the option of downloading your route as a .kml for viewing on Google Earth.
GPS Speed Sentry was developed to provide a subtle warning mechanism that you are exceeding the speed limit. this is particularly helpful on those long road trips when you should be watching the road and not your speedometer.
GPS Speed Sentry is a gps enabled speed monitor/car computer. it monitors your current speed and warns you when you are near or go over one of 6 user defined speed limits. it also allows you to view other gps derived information on a series of display types. other information includes current/top/average speed, a tripmeter, an odometer, elevation, position, bearing and much more.
