This just came up in the last week or two, when a subscriber was trying to do much the same thing. There are multiple options. Here's a couple: - Create a list of APRS object-syntax lines for the points in your bike route (Keith K prefers this method) - Use a tool to convert the KML to a shapefile (ogr2ogr from the GDAL suite can do this, as can GPSBabel) and then create a DBFAWK file to tell Xastir how to render it. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
