Tracking Carnival on GoogleEarth

[ms1badtk]

One use to be able to see all the Carnival ships on Google Earth but now they are not listed. Anyone know why?

I've never seen any ships listed on there. It was just a case of looking around at different places and seeing a ship there in the picture. The images are years old on there anyway, so it's not like you can actually track them.

No, Google Earth has about 50 cruise ships being tracked via GPS and Carnival was on there. It is updated about every hour. http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=749807 is where I saw them.

You can track cruise ships in near real time on this site, no pictures but you can see where a ship is

The is still working fine for me. Just checked and the locations are updated for today - shows Carnival Splendor in Seattle today. The Google Earth plugin for this that I am using is called **********.
