Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses issues of the real-time visualisation of moving objects by means of Google Earth software and Keyhole Markup Language (KML). Moving object tracking system “Akis-GE” is described, and the architecture of its prototype presented. In the proposed system, the location of a moving object is determined using a GPS receiver, and then the location is transferred to an “Akis-GE” server via mobile Internet. Google Earth client periodically requests updated positions from the server and displays them on the map. The system can be implemented without the use of expensive GIS software and digital maps, as Google Earth desktop application with maps is free and worldwide accessible.
