Virgil Zetterlind writes "TakItWithMe is a new service for uploading Google My Maps and Google Earth KML directly to GPS using the recently announced Garmin Communicator. A full description and demo video are posted at http://earthnc.com/introducing-takitwithme . TakItWithMe also offers My Maps and KML conversion to GPX." Several blogs have discussed this new offer. Ogle Earth shared: "The upshot: Annotate with Google MyMaps when exploring a future adventure — then easily upload those points to your GPS device and have them handy while in the field."
