The link below is a KML representation of trails in Monongahela National Forest. Downloading this link and viewing in Google Earth works without issue. However, when I convert using GPSBabel to gdb, the resulting file (when viewed in MapSource) has a few points that leave the United States. It seems to be the result of lat/lon values being incorrectly converted to 0 values. There are two trails in particular that seem to have the issue: Moore Run Trail and Burner Mountain Trail. I do the following process: * Rename the file to be .zip. * Extract the doc.kml from the zip. * Run GPSBabel on doc.kml, using source format Google Earth (Keyhole) Markup Language and destination format Garmin MapSource - gdb. The very odd thing about this case is that if I edit the kml file to only contain the trouble files (Moore and Burner Mountain Trail) then both trails display correctly after conversion. Software versions I am using are: GPS Babel 1.4.2., and MapSource 6.16.3 (I checked and both appear to be up-to-date versions).
