If you are interested you can download the "placemark" from here to view it on Google Earth.
Nice work, sharathjeppu.
Would you kindly answer some questions, I have?
  1. Where did you buy your Garmin Geko 201?
  2. How much did it cost you?
  3. Does it work when leafy trees cover the sky?
  4. How many satellites does it see in your area?
  5. Can it really "see" the satellites through the car's metal roof or do you have to hold it outside the car?
  6. Did you have to manually capture each Way Point or does it snap Way Points automatically?
  7. Do you have Google Earth Plus?
  8. How did you export the Way Points to Google Earth?
Best Regards
Ram
