Just used the 30min trial of Mobile and have exported the route log into a google earth file (via http://www.gpsvisualizer.com)



All worked fine, but just produced a flat route. On my Bendix AV8OR (which I loaded up SD onto) the native software produced google earth files like the attached which shows height info - any way of doing the same with the logs out of SD ?





Cheers

Danny

Sorry, think this link will let you see a bigger version (can't edit my posts due to post count I guess)

In what format does the route come out of your AV80R software before being translated into a Google file?

Hi Tim, it automatically creates .kml files.



I've attached one (renamed the extension to .txt)



thanks

Thanks. We'll consider flightlog export directly in KML format in the future.

I've had no problem with reliving my famous flights via Skydemon mobile and Google Earth. I use the full Skydemon version and it's great fun. What I do is:

1. Synch the mobile with the Skydemon PC version after the flight so your log gets loaded into Skydemon

2. Export the log from Skydemon as a GPX file

3. Import the GPX directly into Google Earth - taking care to uncheck the 'Adjust altitudes to ground level' in the GPS data import that Google Earth throws up. I also leave the KML Groundstrings unchecked, but I do check the KML tracks box.

4. Go into Google Earth and enjoy. I've set up the touring options like this (see below) and it allows me to relive the flight by clicking on that little folder icon at the bottom of the places window

2. Export the log from Skydemon as a GPX file




Ah, now that is where I am coming unstuck as I cannot see any way to export the file as anything - let alone a GPX file.



The 'export' option is greyed out on my SkyDemon

Click on your log (its virtual radar output) so it's selected then the option will become available.
