I can basically have it all to myself during bow and its 500 acres so I need some help as a first time hunter in the hills. I have a property i turkey hunt in hill country that I am going to start deer hunting. I am a computer dummy and my wife would just think I am more nuts than she already does if I ask her for help. but GPS Babel can't convert KMZ files into GPX - for that you have to use KML files.īabscanes wrote:guys stupid question that may have already been answered but how do you get the map from caltopo on here for help analysing it? Do you somehow copy it with paint and then import it here. KMZ files on the other hand contain actual images and can be uploaded into some Garmin devices devices as "custom maps". After you make a GPX from the KML using GPS Babel, you can open the GPX in MyTrails and see your waypoints. KML files interest me because they work with GPS Babel, mentioned above. Then you can export a KML file or KMZ file from CalTopo. If you login to CalTopo with your gmail or yahoo account you can save your maps. I like to see more of the image than the topo sometimes so I slid the opacity slider to the left. So, you can move information from CalTopo into MyTrails using the general steps as exporting a KML from Google Earth.ĬalTopo is nice because you can layer a topo map over a satellite image and then change the opacity. I should really file this under a CalTopo thread but this just shows how CalTopo works with GPS Babel. not just MyTrails.Ī key thing is to make sure I know which file I'm putting my waypoints into and keep my files up to date between MyTrails and Google Earth after I'm done scouting.ĭeerSlayer showed me the layer feature in CalTopo and I noticed you can export your information to KML or KMZ - the same way you can with Google Earth above.

This should work with any GPS software that can make and read GPX files. I suppose I could do a more detailed step-by-step with screen snaps if enough people are interested. Sometimes difficult to be clear in email/posts. just try to get the gist of it and ask questions and maybe I can clear it up.
Uploading to Dropbox (free account) is a feature in MyTrails. I use "Dropbox" to pass the files back and forth between my MyTrails and Windows. What the GPS Babel screen looks like to convert the file: Picking the right link for download: (the other links are red herrings) But one extra step is that you have to convert that "KML" file into a "GPX" - so MyTrails can read it. The folder in Google Earth can be exported as a "KML" file. I made one folder in Google Earth for waypoints I make when scouting images with Google Earth. I made one file in MyTrails for waypoints I make when scouting on foot. And I want to see waypoints I make in Google Earth in MyTrails.īasically I want to see all my waypoints no matter what software I make them in. I want to see my waypoints in Google Earth after I make them in MyTrails.

GPSBabel enables owners of many different brands of GPS units to view their GPS data in several popular consumer map programs, such as Google Earth and Microsoft Streets & Trips.I use MyTrails on Android when I'm scouting and hunting. This relies on GPS data loggers, either external or internal to the camera.
Photographers frequently use GPSBabel for geotagging images, associating location with photographs. Geographic information system (GIS) applications such as QGIS and Grass use GPSBabel for many import and export operations and processing. GPSBabel is popular in the Geocaching community because it enables people with incompatible GPS units to share data. Many contributors to OpenStreetMap use GPSBabel to convert GPS track data from proprietary formats to the GPX format OpenStreetMap requires. GPSBabel is part of many Linux distributions including Debian and Fedora, and also part of the Fink and Homebrew systems for getting Unix software on macOS. It has a command-line interface and a graphical interface for Windows, macOS, and Linux users.

GPSBabel is a cross-platform, free software to transfer routes, tracks, and waypoint data to and from consumer GPS units, and to convert between GPS data formats.
