For the Output filetype, select GPX, and specify the filename and where you want to. Open up GPSBabel, set Google Earth (Keyhole) Markup Language as the Input filetype, and select the KML file you created as the input file. The program can easily process additional data to the visualization.Īny data that could be UAV specific could be added: what has to be done is just define a format, and what the visualization should show in the google earth view.įor example, we could define a format that includes specific paramters.Īttitude, engines speed, residual battery charge (or anything else) C_GPS2KML will able to add this information the generated KML file (it's possible to add the data in the small box that opens for each point - useful for values that requires a table formatting or - a bit more complex- change the the objects generated like the colour of the track, size of the points ecc. Once you’ve created your KML file, you’ll need to convert it to a GPX file. gpsbabel -t -i gpx -f 20070806.gpx -o kml,labels0,points. Literally hundreds of GPS receivers and programs are supported. In the second example, the Garmin file transfer is enabled, and the data files appear as a USB drive. Writing a python script that splits a GPX file into parts of 500 points each is trivial (at least if you know the basics of programming). GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes between popular GPS receivers such as Garmin or Magellan and mapping programs like Google Earth or Basecamp. I'd like to propose the possibility for C_GPS2KML to be "upgrade" adding specific UAV features. With gpsbabel you can convert KML to GPX files (and back).
