I think this is a striped shore crab, saw a couple of these guarding the approach to the beach.

This is sweet! I love the GPS information on top of the Google map. I'm wondering how you did that. Is there a tutorial available? Thanks and keep it up!

I use GPSBabel (http://www.gpsbabel.org/) to convert the log files from my GPS to Google Earth KML files. It works with many GPS formats.
The links to "see this on Google Earth" are broken. I'd love to see this info. Any chance of fixing them? Thanks.
Google Earth links are fixed now.
