ACARSD and Google Maps?

[henrik340]

Hi

I have seen on some online servers that they can connect SBS-1 ACARS with Google Maps.
Would be very interesting to know if you can connect ACARSD to Google Maps or Google Earth too to get better positions.

Anyone that know if its possible or not?
If its possible, how do you do it?

Some of the ACARS software allows you to create your own maps for the program. That might be one way to integrate the two, although not as smoothly as what you are describing.

Thanks for your answer!

Yes, i have made my own maps and run them in ACARSD but i would like to get it to work with Google Maps or Google Earth so i can zoom in all the way to see exactly where it is, if its possible.

I would think it would be possible to have acars put the data out on a port to catch with google earth... would be nice if everyone had altitude readouts so you could get a good 3d trajectory

This would probably be the best place to ask your questions.
