Hi,
Your software C_GPS2KML looks very interresting.
Unfortunalty, I do not succed to Inport ASCII file (Comma, or Tab separated). After double-check on your WebSite, I'm even not sure this progam support these kind input.
Could any one confirm if that work? If Yes, how suppose to look like the file (ex. "Lat,Long, Alt" Does that work?)
Thanks in advence.

In fact the documentations lacks to describe CSV files format that can be used. Clearly the CSV format can be done in many ways... (just changing the fields order or the measurements unit of the a field...).
You can try the following CSV format:
"Point Name","Point Description",Lon,Lat
With Longitude and Latitude as decimal degrees
Anyway CSV import is actually limited, and was used only to covert POI files.
I'm going to define a CSV format that could let better results and more features (altitude, speed, direction, satellites used and so). Any comment on the files definition will be taken into account. Or I can add the support for a CSV definition that already contains all the useful fields.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer!!!! :-)
This will help me a lot, as I had to convert my CSV to $GPGGA ...
About files definition, well this is a good start. Of course altitude and a PDOP or any quality factor (like Standard Deviation) could be usefull especially with your function to change color in function of such parameters.
An advise: you could make kind of automatic detection of the data/format. The file would have a header line with some KeyWord to identify the kind of data.
But at least a clear description, in your documentation, of the supported data as well as the format to respect, could be enough.
Again thank a lot, as your software seems extremly powerfull, easy to use and mostly very efficient.
Good continuation.

Using a CSV with header is clearly the best solution, but actually I think that I'll implement a simpler CSV format without header, that should conver most of the uses and can be implemented easily(and fast).
I'm thinking to implement this format(or very similar):
0,Time(UTC),Date(UTC),Latitude,Longitude,Altitude,Heading,Speed,NSat,Hdop,Fixmode
(0 is just a token to recognize a valid string)
Later I'll add CSV with header if this format will not be enough for all purposes.
Stay tuned for an update! :-)
