OK, got that now. I hadn't realised that Google Earth combined the files you open one after another into a single sequence. That's why I imagined my first KMZ file contained only the first 5 minutes of my journey and my last KMZ file the entire journey.

Is the kml2kmz just a gzip?

Would be nice to get Google Earth to replay the KMZs in flight sim mode.

Still, the kml/kmz logging from minigpsd seems to be working OK for me now, so thanks very much for the help tz1. Nice work.
