Dear user,

You can use Google Earth v4.3 beta, it enables GPS for Google Earth on Linux. To use Google Earth v4.3, you should have the Tools > GPS menu. In this dialog box, you have to click the Realtime tab to start tracking. After this, when you click the Start button, you will see a new entry in Temporary Places called Realtime GPS. The location is relative to Google Earth's installation directory.

Hope this will help you.

Thank you
