Google KML question
by Eric Karsten
::
Rate this Message:
The idea behind GPSBABEL is great. I have an Explorist 500 and do not like the MAPSEND software. I prefer to create routes using Google Maps but I had not found a way to translate for my GPS. I have been trying to take the KML data below and translate it to Magallean SD but I always get a 0 bit file. I tried other formats including CSV with the same result. I'm using the latest version of GPSBABEL from the site. Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure how you make this file, but it doesn't contain data that we need.
Using Google Maps, enter a start and an end. Click on 'link'. Add an "&output=kml" to the end. Copy that link and open in a new tab or browser window or whatever. It'll prompt you to save a file named "maps.kml". That file will contain KML that includes a polyline for the route and all the turnpoints and not just a network link like you've shown below. That file we can read fine. It sounds way more complicated than it is. The whole process takes less than a second. Tip: for sending to an Explorist, you'll want to turn the whole thing into a route: gpsbabel -r -i kml -f maps\(3\).kml -xtransform,rte=wpt,del -o magellanx -F blah.rte ... will result in a blah.rte containing a route for explorist $PMGNWPL,3555.772,N,08650.512,W,0000000,M,Head south on Mack H,go 0.9 mi,a*46 $PMGNWPL,3555.036,N,08650.670,W,0000000,M,Turn left at Murfree,go 1.2 mi,a*31 $PMGNWPL,3554.842,N,08649.432,W,0000000,M,Turn left onto the r,go 0.3 mi,a*4D $PMGNWPL,3555.084,N,08649.418,W,0000000,M,Merge onto I-65 N,go 16.6 mi,a*08 $PMGNWPL,3608.665,N,08646.618,W,0000000,M,Take exit 82B to mer,go 1.0 mi,a*6E $PMGNWPL,3609.184,N,08645.889,W,0000000,M,Take exit 211B on th,go 5.0 mi,a*22 $PMGNWPL,3613.161,N,08646.470,W,0000000,M,Slight right at I-65,go 432 mi,a*7C $PMGNWPL,4135.369,N,08718.401,W,0000000,M,Take exit 262 to mer,go 29.4 mi,a*29 $PMGNWPL,4150.312,N,08737.838,W,0000000,M,Take exit 53 for I-5,go 0.7 mi,a*6E $PMGNWPL,4150.813,N,08737.679,W,0000000,M,Merge onto I-55 N,go 0.6 mi,a*31 $PMGNWPL,4150.878,N,08736.983,W,0000000,M,Take the exit onto S,go 1.3 mi,a*70 $PMGNWPL,4151.789,N,08737.115,W,0000000,M,Slight left at S Col,go 1.1 mi,a*4F $PMGNWPL,4152.699,N,08737.240,W,0000000,M,Turn left at E Jacks,go 0.2 mi,a*5B $PMGNWPL,4152.697,N,08737.451,W,0000000,M,Turn right at S Mich,go 456 ft,a*4C $PMGNWPL,4152.772,N,08737.455,W,0000000,M,Turn left at Adams S,go 23 ft,a*7A $PMGNWPL,4152.772,N,08737.460,W,0000000,M,Arrive at: Chicago I,Arrive at: Chicago IL,a*03 $PMGNRTE,8,1,c,1,,Head south on Mack Hatcher Blvd/TN-397 toward Murfreesboro Rd,a,Turn left at Murfreesboro Rd/TN-96,a*3F $PMGNRTE,8,2,c,1,,Turn left onto the ramp to Nashville,a,Merge onto I-65 N,a*76 $PMGNRTE,8,3,c,1,,Take exit 82B to merge onto I-40 E toward Knoxville,a,Take exit 211B on the left to merge onto I-24 W toward I-65 N,a*08 $PMGNRTE,8,4,c,1,,Slight right at I-65 N (signs for I-65 N/Louisville) Passing,a,Take exit 262 to merge onto I-90 W Partial toll road Enterin,a*7E $PMGNRTE,8,5,c,1,,Take exit 53 for I-55 N/Stevenson Expy toward Lake Shore Dr,a,Merge onto I-55 N,a*1B $PMGNRTE,8,6,c,1,,Take the exit onto S Lake Shore Dr N/US-41 N,a,Slight left at S Columbus Dr,a*01 $PMGNRTE,8,7,c,1,,Turn left at E Jackson Blvd/E Jackson Dr,a,Turn right at S Michigan Ave,a*57 $PMGNRTE,8,8,c,1,,Turn left at Adams St/E Adams St,a,Arrive at: Chicago IL,a*09 On Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 8:18 PM, Eric Karsten <karsten4476@...> wrote: The idea behind GPSBABEL is great.
