Rally Navigator - Create Rally Roadbooks with Google Earth and GPS

Brimstone · Jan 31, 2013

Been playing with the app all day!! Man, did work ever suffer!!

Gotta say, this is fantastic. Already so many great ideas for rallies and routes around my neck of the woods. This will be a great tool for learning how to read and use a roadbook for navigation.

I'm digging the ease of use and it runs very very nicely on my machine. Kudos to the team bringing this all together. Just Awesome!

Today was the first chance I had to double check a little test roadbook that I put together. I was very impressed with how close the mileages came out; very close to what my ICO displayed. I was also happy with the CAP heading accuracy. This program really makes compiling a roadbook much easier.

Finally tried out the software..................It's fantastic.

Can't believe it's free, something so good should cost a pretty penny.

Great job and thank you.

Now I just gotta play w/ it a bit more and understand the ins and out of the program.

just did a prerun in the 4wd on the weekend.
bloody awesome.
for prerunning in the foruby, i now need an android tripmeter program, something that shows coords, cap and a couple of tripmeters with in/de-crement buttons.
how handy would that be for verifying a roadbook alongside maverick using google/microsoft hybrid sat images.
anyone know of anything?

ive since found and used this one - its only a tripmeter, no cap.
& although its resettablle and the distance can be corrected, its a bit clumsy.
anything better android abusers are aware of?

I gotta say, this is just fantastic. I can't wait until our weather is a bit better to get out and try some roadbooks I have been working on. I'm so stoked for this riding season!

THANKS RALLY NAVIGATOR!

It looks absolutely great!
I do however have a problem - when it first tried, I got a bunch of "icons" which I could drag onto the tulip area to create cryptic little pictures.
Now, the icons are gone.
Nothing under Roads, Landmarks, Signs, Speeds, Terrain. I can still add Text.
It also won't print.....

What changed was that I uninstalled the latest Google Earth and installed version 6.2, as suggested.

Any ideas? Is my ability making a roadbook as bad as my riding ability?

beechum1 · Mar 4, 2013

are you attempting to add symbols after you've identified the waypoints? If so, look at the bottom of the roadbook (as you edit it) for the symbols. i found out that they have to be added as I add the WP's.

I tried both ways, adding symbols afterwards or as I identify them. Same issue. A screenshot is attached, if that helps.....
I feel a bit stupid, what am I doing wrong?

I ran it out of Firefox rather than Internet Explorer, and it works 100%.
Problem solved.

I am running it on The Google Chrome and it works well too.

Tried this. Downloaded correct version of Google earth again. Changed the ipc settings with the about:config toggling. Installed the plugin into firefox (older version) and still I get the this message;

There was a problem with the Google Earth Plugin.
Exit the browser completely (Cmd-Q on Mac; Alt-F x on Windows), then re-open this page to see it in action.
If that doesn't help, you can re-install the Google Earth Plugin using this link.

I've tried this twice. Now I'm running a Mac but I think I'm still doing something wrong, any ideas mac users?

Make sure you in fact have the earlier version of google earth. It took a while for me to find the proper download location. Several times I thought I was downloading the older version only to find the link kept pushing me into a newer one.
