Google Going After Strava, Endomondo, Wheelog...

They have updated "MyTracks" and now handle all the common formats, devices, etc, and allow playback in 3D on Google Earth

They are not going "after" - they are going. Some things are in the way.

I've used it, and other smartphone apps. Now have a Garmin that I download via USB, and have gone back to minimum data plan. That Edge 500 will pay for itself in less than a year.

No, and never have. Nor do I own Google stock shares. But It is pretty darned cool.

That said, I'm wondering if I could load tracks from Endomondo/Strava/etc into Google Earth for the same effect?
