when will the guys at GE+ include the option to save in different formats? GPX, Mapsource, etc.Īpologize my lenghty post, I am tired and just want some answers. Any clues as to what I might be doing wrong? Links or info to another utility that can be used to convert KML to GPX? PCX?Īnd. The ones generetaed by GPSBabel are empty. I tried generating GPX files from other programs and it worked fine when importing to mapsource, GE+, etc. Other programs such as Ozi Explorer and even Notepad wont read info on output files.

Problem is Garmin's Mapsource won't read it. damn little thing will produce the output file in GPX, PCX, and other formats. Problem? yes!! Google Earth, albeit a good product, sucks by not letting me save in anything other than KML. Not to mention the (hopefully never ocurring) emergency and lack of options if hese airstrips are not explored beforehand and marked properly on my trusty GPS. I now need to pass them on to the GPS to go fly and confirm their existece and operative state. Used google earth to confirm their location based on a 1:50000 map I used in locating them. I have all these useful placemarks for airstrips I can use in case of an emergency as a private pilot.

#INPUT GPS WAYPOINTS WITH GPSBABEL SOFTWARE#
Not even the Mapsource software (the latest version as well) was able to do so. I even was able to extract hard to get waypoints from my serially connected Garmin eTrex Vista. My Dell Dimension 4500 with WinXP SP2 Home runs Google Earth Plus smoothly, and importing waypoints from my Garmin GPSMAP96C was a breeze. I HAVE downloaded GPSBabel 1.2.6 (the latest Beta as well as 1.2.5). I hope my BBS search skills aren't rusty, however after to hours of trying to find information on converting KML files to GPX files, all I ever stumbled upon was the opposite process: GPX to KML.
