Is there any way of knowing where along the route I am at a given time? For example I‌ take the odd photo whilst aloft and have no GPS on my camera. I have shown to a friend the flight log in jpeg form, and have been asked "does the programme have any options to output the file in other formats? It may well have the data and just isn't showing it to you. Anything like a GPX or KML should be usable with times." I‌ have been pointed towards a programme on which I could use such a GPX file. It is http://www.piclocata.com/PicLocata.html‌ I‌ note on another post ‌the comment "We add a whole bunch of file types when the user picks Share, from the native .flightplan file to HTML briefing output to a GPX file and others". This does not seem to apply to logs? ‌ A‌ny help here would be appreciated, but please keep it simple!

Brilliant, thanks, have now done this. ‌ I fly with a Tesco Hudl (tablet), but think I shall be working on a PC with the photos.

I did try EXPORT but it gave me only the .gpx file, not the others. There was no Google Earth option. HOWEVER I am having problems with Google Earth which may explain that. It is an old computer and running XP. It says that Direct X mode is not supported. I have downloaded the latest version of Direct X but the same message and suggestiion to open in Open GL. When I try that it says the graphics card will not support it. So it looks like I'll have to live with this and use the Hudl or phone for this. Thanks anyway. I DO try!

Yes, it's the .gpx file. I was trying to get the.kml file to send to someone to drag onto Google Earth My Maps, as I otherwise I understand you have to convert .gpx to .kml

When your log is open you can grab the little white aircraft in virtual radar and drag it forward and backward through the log. As you do this you'll see the time and various other stats displayed next to it, and the aircraft will appear in the main map too. Thus you can establish exactly where you were at a particular time, if you like.
