EarthNC has a new Google Earth tool for taking points, paths, and polygons created in Google Earth, and either converting them to GPX or uploading them directly to a Garmin GPS (Windows only for the latter). Points are converted to points, paths to routes, and polygons to tracks. The downloadable KML file, full text instructions, and a demonstration video, are available at the website. They also have a simple online tool for converting KML files directly to GPX format by copying the KML file into the online text box and clicking a conversion button.
