Hang Glider Flight Path

Triphazard,

I took a straight template for a path (in kml not kmz) below:

Code:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">

<Placemark>

  <name>Flight Path</name>

  <styleUrl>root://styles#default+icon=0x307</styleUrl>

  <LineString>

    <tessellate>1</tessellate>

    <altitudeMode>absolute</altitudeMode>

    <coordinates>

-113.290033,43.76505,2130

-113.2917,43.76335,2130

-113.2917,43.76335,2131

    </coordinates>

  </LineString>

</Placemark>

</kml>

I replaced the coordinates from your "placemark branch" into the file. Saved it and then opened it in GE. Once inside GE I can change <LookAt> and all the colors.

The real trick that I used was to get the data from the kmz placemarks to a place where I can cut and paste without very much work. Here is what I did.

Download the KMZ
Open in GE
Save as KML to my desktop.
Open a blank MS Excel spreadsheet. (I used 2003)
Go to Data> XML> Import (let it create the schema)
You should see all the points in Column P (This is not always the same column)
Highlight the cells.
Copy and paste into the Generic kml file (above)
Save

I have attached your Flight Path (Converted) This took me less than two minutes to complete. It has taken me about ten minutes to type this up.

Let me know if you need anything else.
