The new blog named Free Geographic Information Tools has a short entry wondering if Google Earth Plus is worthed the 20$? From the blog: "So of the 6 additional capabilities you get with the Plus version of GE, there are free (or cheap) ways to get better results for three of them: GPS data import, real-time tracking, and spreadsheet import. And for GPS data, there are free tools that will allow you to export GE points and paths to your GPS as waypoints and tracks, something GE Plus can't do."
