KML export of GPS data fails

[aBUGSworstnightmare]

Hey guys,

wanted to export my flight path (GPS data from LOG) to a .KML file for visualizing via Google earth, but the export fails completely on Windows version, MAC version generates an empty file only.

What am I doing wrong?

The newest QGC works fine for me but if your using an older QGC some of them will not export KMLs. Some SD cards give problems with errors and that could also be your problem.

Joerg, logDump.exe was missing from earlier releases of 1.6.x. You could download the again (1.6.3.1), and/or use the .

Hi Max,
thanks for the hint; still used 1.6.3

O.K. this solved the problem with the exporter but I still have not data in my .xml-file. Looks like no GPS related data gets logged with this FW (it's Peter's FW that I'm currently flying).
The log file in question is here https://www.dropbox.com/s/huz4g52rh7h4w ... L.LOG?dl=0
Would be great if someone can check what's going on.

You have GPS H/V accuracy filters set to .5m but your logged accuracy never drops that low. Set them to 3m or so, then try the export again.

Case closed! Set the accuracy to ~4m to get some data:

Hey guys,
is it possible that the exported log is not scaled correctly?
Here is the video from one of my CamCruiser's flights

and this is the exported track from the log file (https://www.dropbox.com/s/al1v43n3fb4c0 ... L.LOG?dl=0):

This looks like it is too small since I used more 'space' for flying; i.e. at 3:31min when the craft is ascending in front of the trees

Can you let me have your feedback on this? Will capture a 'flight' by carrying an M4 around the streets to see if it fits google map this week...

Joerg, I can guarantee you that what you see on the map is exactly what was in the logs. There is no "scaling" since everything is logged in real-world coordinates (lat/lon/MSL alt). If you're missing records, that is most likely due to filtering being applied to the log export and/or poor GPS reception during parts of the flight.
