I think the idea is just great and perhaps you should propose
the TSP bridge --> Google Earth too Google itself.

It seems that GE V4 introduce the possibility of GPS binding
http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2007/01/using_gps_with_googl.html

The GPS binding seems to be "device specific" whereas with your
solution you may propose TSP as the software protocol for next GE.

If GE itself is implementing TSP consumer interface you may simply "connect"
GE to the TSP provider, which could in turn be either a real device
(GPS receiver device) or a simulator as bb_simu.

Go ahead send a mail to google with your idea :))
