Hi all, I am using GPSBabel 1.2.5 to convert .kml files to other formats such as .gpx or .pcx or even .csv It seems Babel is NOT even extracting waypoint data from a perfectly saved .kml waypoint I am using for testing. I have repeatedly tried on my dell 4500, win xp sp2 home with google earth plus, but it simply will not convert. I have plenty of waypoints to use on my GPS and was hoping GPS Babel would REALLY convert kml files to other formats so I could import them to Mapsource and then my GPS. And I have isolated the problem: any output file by Babel is EMPTY. No coordinates. Only lines and certain elements of the different GPS formats, but no waypoint coordinates. Any ideas on how to solve this, or when it will be solved by another version? Thanks AB |

KML import isn't fully implemented yet. I will try to get it one day (or someone else can take a crack at it using the KML documentation). ---Andrew On 7/29/05, Alain Berger - PALM <al...@in...> wrote: > =20 > =20 >=20 > Hi all,=20 >=20 > =20 >=20 > I am using GPSBabel 1.2.5 to convert .kml files to other formats such as > .gpx or .pcx or even .csv=20 >=20 > =20 >=20 > It seems Babel is NOT even extracting waypoint data from a perfectly save= d > .kml waypoint I am using for testing.

I have > repeatedly tried on my dell 4500, win xp sp2 home with google earth IIRC, KML changed a little between Keyhole and GE. The full KML spec is huge and _very_ expressive. But we should be able to get basic waypoints out. I suspect our KML writer is more robust than our reader. Send a sample file, please. RJL |
