Sometimes, if you ask nicely, and your request is Much of the development is done by people solving their own GPSBabel isn't developed by a company it's done by volunteers. Generally, simpla and "obvsious changes can be done and integrated Since our build system makes a snaphot every night, this is rarely a Releae schedules can be harder to predict, but Once that's done, it'll be on board the cargo car awaiting the departureĬar of the next release.

It would simplify the job of reading them in correctly.As soon as programmer with the skill, resources,Īnd time implements it. No real checks for overwriting older files, and may not work on every file correctly (report bugs). Help button takes you to this page Exit does what you’d expect. If the pop-up becomes annoying (which it will), check the box in the lower-left-hand corner to turn it off. You’ll get a pop-up box with the name and location of the new file, which should always be the same location as the input file. Run the program (won’t win any interface awards):Ĭlick on the main button, choose the GPX or KML file you want to process, and the program will remove the time data from the file, and save it with “_TS” appended to the filename. Download the file at this link it’s a zipped stand-alone executable. Until then, I banged together a simple Windows-only program called GPXTimeStripper that will remove all time-related data from a GPX file (KML files, too, although this may not work in every case). This is pretty retarded behavior I hope Google adds the option to turn off time-related data display when it’s not wanted. Same behavior if you save the data permanently to “My Places”. To see all the waypoints, you’ll need to move the “start-time-extent” slider all the way to the left: Hitting the play button on the time slider will make the waypoints appear and disappear quickly, and at the end the only waypoint visible will be the last one created the time slider will look like this: If you uncheck the GPS data box in the Places pane to hide the data, then check it again, you’ll see nothing at all except the time slider: You only see all the waypoints when the time slider has run all the way through to the end. The first time you open the file, the time slider will run from start to finish, with waypoints popping up and disappearing as the time indicator hits their creation time. In a recent GPS talk I gave, I surprised some people when I told them that Google Earth can open some GPS-related formats like GPX, LOC and others directly you just need to select the type of files you want to open with the drop-down in the lower-right corner:īut if the waypoints in GPX files come time-stamped, either with the time you created them in the field or in a program, Google Earth assumes that you want to use this time-related data, and brings up a time slider in the upper-left-hand corner: In the process of writing yesterday’s post on Garmin Basecamp, I found an annoying flaw on how Google Earth handles GPX files. ![]()
