I suspect i will be corrected but a KMZ file can be read by google earth ?

Thank you Brendan!

You motivated me to go looking for it. Enjoyed watching it on GE last year, and the website that hosted the files is no longer there. Appears ARC are doing it as an official service. I was stumped at first as they seemed to be providing the info simply as a strumap browser version. But then I noticed that on the home page in small writing it says follow on GE, read more in Features, so it was a bit hidden away.

I had had a quick look but not found it, and hoped somebody had been more successful.

I like to look at the weather charts and try to see why course decisions have been made, and their impact!

Talbot et al... I'm responsible for moving the Google Earth track of the ARC from last year's home. Sorry about that, meant to post the new address here yesterday but got tied up on other matters.

The address is now available from the official Arc web site at http://arc.worldcruising.com/en/news.asp?chco_id=14311

A fantastic use of technology. It should really involve all those on shore!

Brendan,

You might also be interested in adding this to your Google Earth resources - it provides a cloud picture.
