As an alternative to the KML mode of the SparkFun GPS logger.
This takes a text file with NMEA messages, and makes a KML from it, with configurable parameters.
It needs the Microsoft .NET framework 2.0
And the corresponding KML looks like this:

I’ll add a facility to change the LookAt, range, angle etc soon.
Great tool, thanks! I look forward to any new versions. 
I really hate to burst your bubble, as you probably put quite a bit of work into that.
I just thought I’d mention it, this is what I usually use to convert maps to KML:

and its online too…

I know of that tool, but as I don’t always have internet access handy, I prefer mine 
how to use your aplication? where to find net framework?
thanks
The .Net framework is available from Microsoft

To use the application, select ‘Browse’, find the raw NMEA file created by the GPS logger, choose the options for the KML, and select Save KML. You can then open that KML file in Google Earth.
It’s possible to your program to show the hour/minute in the map??
Another question:
How to create a way point with GGA sentence and the see in gps visualiser???
Thanks
Hello,
You can use my web based application i can give you the code if your are interested.
And if you like some extra features for the program. Tell them and i will try to put them online.
Someone knows how to record a waypoint in the nmea file and them convert to KML and see it in the google earth?

Hi Caffeine, I’m doing something similar in a Windows Mobile 5/6, but I have some doubts about the parsing, how many lines do you have to read ¿only $GPGGA or $GPRMC? how do you know if the signal is correct. Thanks
Great free on-line tool is CEALogs LogViewer http://apps.cealogs.co.uk/viewer/.
