Thanks for the reply. Examining the file in Notepad shows that the kml paths are converted to GPX polylines and not tracks. I don't know how to force the conversion to tracks. I've also been playing around with the demo version of ExpertGPS which does convert kmz and kml files into GPX and they display correctly on that PC app. When I look at the attribute table of the .gpx files in QGIS, the X and Y coordinates are not displayed, although the elevation, time, name, and comment data are. When I open the .gpx files in a text editor, the coordinate information is there and I can copy and paste the values for each waypoint. GPX files collect points in two ways: waypoints and tracks. Waypoints are generally single unrelated points, while tracks make up a route or collection of related points with a start and end point. The type of point collected is specified in the output Type field by the code WPT (waypoint) or TRKPT (track point). Waypoints can have a name and GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes between popular GPS receivers such as Garmin or Magellan and mapping programs like Google Earth or Basecamp. Literally hundreds of GPS receivers and programs are supported. It also has powerful manipulation tools for such data. such as filtering duplicates points or simplifying tracks. Step One: Add GPS Tracks, Waypoints, and Routes. Collect tracks, waypoints, or routes using your GPS device. To add them to your ArcGIS Online web map, export the data from your device as a GPX file—the GPS Exchange format. How you create the GPX file will depend on the GPS device and software you use. For the purposes of this tip, a Garmin Convert your GPS waypoints, routes and tracklogs to GPX in two easy steps with ExpertGPS. Download your GPS tracklog and waypoints from any Garmin, Magellan, Lowrance, or Eagle GPS receiver. Then, just save the file in ExpertGPS. ExpertGPS is 100% compatible with GPX, the GPS Exchange Format. It uses GPX as its native file format, and you can Convert to tracks, but include named points as waypoints: A line will be drawn between all routepoints, and routepoints that have a "name" field defined will be included as waypoints; unnamed routepoints will be included in the track but not converted to waypoints. Convert to tracks and include ALL as waypoints: A line will be drawn between Converting an Activity. You can convert an activity to a track or route, and add it to a collection. From the activities list, select an activity. Select . Select an existing collection or create a new collection ( Creating a Collection ). Select an option: To convert the activity to a track, select Convert to Track. .
