Hi,which is the best (simple) tool to convert NMEA files from a GPS tracker to Kml files?I'm searching for something which permit to select start and end wp etc.Thanks,Ric
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
Glad it helps.
I'd like to propose the possibility for C_GPS2KML to be "upgrade" adding specific UAV features.
The program can easily process additional data to the visualization.
Any data that could be UAV specific could be added: what has to be done is just define a format, and what the visualization should show in the google earth view.
For example, we could define a format that includes specific paramters.
Attitude, engines speed, residual battery charge (or anything else) C_GPS2KML will able to add this information the generated KML file (it's possible to add the data in the small box that opens for each point - useful for values that requires a table formatting or - a bit more complex- change the the objects generated like the colour of the track, size of the points ecc...)
There are really many possibilities :)
So, if we have an idea to extend KML visuazation to fit UAV specific needs, I will be happy to support the development (and I think this forum can be used for the "think-tank" on this purpose)
Hi, the C_GPS2KML tool indicated in this discussione for NMEA to KML conversion has now changed his location

Well done great find. I'm having problems converting txt. files in GPS2KML have to convert it to gpx first in GPSBabel but otherwise it works grate with GGA & RMC strings only. --- what else do you need!

There is a new version of the program, now featuring GLonass support for NMEA files (with some other minor chages and bugfixes)
Hi Ric,
try http://www.gpsbabel.org
It converts literally every format into every other format and can also apply some filters while doing so.

That site makes it pretty damn easy.
