Got a problem? Check this first...

• Look at the output kml file. The format for lat/long must be: 37.987706,15.353542,0 not 37,987706,15,353542,0 (the European standard) I thought I had it fixed, but apparently not. Blame Microsoft! To fix it, set your computer to "English, United States" format... It is in "Settings / Control panel / Regional and Language Options" on XP computers. This is by far the most common problem. I have attempted to fix it, but it caused so many other problems, I have given up.
• Is the COM port number set correctly?
• Is the gps in the correct mode? (when using F3 and F4 modes)
• In F4 (NMEA) mode, is the baud rate correct?
• In F4 (NMEA) mode, is another application using the gps or nmea kml file? (text editor, maybe?)
• Try a sample file. They are in the "GEtrax\Samples" subfolder. Use a text editor to compare against your files.
• GEtrax does not support USB devices. If you have a GPS with USB, you will have to use a USB to COM adapter, or use OziExplorer to save the track and waypoint files.
• If the speed display always read zero, it is likely that neither the speed or the timestamp is in the data. If the speed is present, I display that. If speed data is not present, I attempt to determine it from distance travelled over time.
• List of error codes can be found here.

Menu Items

• Debug Mode: If selected (F12 or from menu), a text box will open showing all input track and waypoint data. The window disappears once the program is re-started, or debug mode de-selected. If you have a problem, copy the debug box data and email it to me. Also send the source file and output kml file if relevant.
• Keep application on top: Keeps GEtrax as the top window, above any other application.
• Ignore NMEA checksum/valid flag: The NMEA specification requires a checksum at the end of the data string, but not all devices insert one. Checking this option causes GEtrax to ignore the checksum. Keep in mind that if you ignore the checsum you run the risk of processing corrupt data. This option also needs to be checked if you wish to run the GPS in NMEA simulator mode.
• Any other menu items should be obvious.

OziExplorer, GPX, XML, NMEA or CSV Track file conversion

• Convert:
• an OziExplorer track file to a GE track file and display it...
• a GPX track file to a GE track file and display it...
• an XML track file to a GE track file and display it...
• a text file containing raw NMEA data ($GPRMC/$GPGGA sentences) to a GE track file and display it...
• a text file containing CSV data to a GE track file and display it (only two formats are supported)...
• (Samples of various filet formats are found here.)


• Select the appropriate file type and press the "Read track file" button at the bottom to open a file for conversion.
• A separate track segment will be created (all in the same folder) for each file segment found.
(Every time a gps is turned off, or loses satellite lock, it creates a new segment.) You can remove unwanted segments in GE or by manually editing the kml file. If you enter your GMT offset in the text box, displayed times will be corrected to local time. Note that CSV files have timestamps in GMT.
• You can elect to display an icon at the Start and Finish of the track.
• The name of a track segment is the date/time of the first point in that segment, followed by the number of points. If Collapse segments is selected, the number displayed is the number of points in the first of the collapsed segments.
• To save a track as a GPX file, select GPX filetype in the "Save as type" selection when saving the file. Make sure the file extension is correct.
• To save a track as an OziExplorer file, select Ozi filetype in the "Save as type" selection when saving the file. Make sure the file extension is correct.
• You can drag and drop a file onto the "Convert Tracks" area of the program to automatically convert the track to an output kml file. The file will be saved to the same folder as the input file.

OziExplorer or GPX Waypoint to Placemark file conversion

• Convert OziExplorer or GPX waypoint file to a GE placemark file and display it...


• Select the appropriate file type and press the "Read waypoint file" button to open a file for conversion.
• You can select either the waypoint name (usually up to 10 characters, upper case) or the waypoint comment (longer, mixed case) to use as the placemark label. In GPX files, you can also select description. If you use "Comment" or "Description", be advised that it may not exist in your waypoint file, and may contain non-printable characters. If GE reports a parsing error, let me know. It usually means there is a bad character in the comment/description string.
• You can select an icon to use from four palettes of icons, and adjust placemark transparency.
• To save a track as a GPX file, select GPX filetype in the "Save as type" selection when saving the file. Make sure the file extension is correct.
• You can drag and drop a file onto the "Convert Waypoints" area of the program to automatically convert the waypoint file to an output kml file. The file will be saved to the same folder as the input file.

Download GPS Track (Garmin only!)

• Select the COM port that the GPS is connected to. (GEtrax does not support USB interface.)
• Ensure the GPS is set to "Garmin" mode.
• Press "Get track". The track should download.
• To abort download, press "Disconnect" button.
• When complete (or aborted), a file save box will pop up.
• The saved file can be viewed with the "Edit" button, or opened with GoogleEarth.
• It should work for all Garmin units. It definitely won't work for other brands.
• Baud rate is fixed at 9600. Email me if that is a problem.
• To save a track as a GPX file, select GPX filetype in the "Save as type" selection when saving the file. Make sure the file extension is correct. Similar for OziExplorer files.

Real-time Location (NMEA)

• Select the COM port that the GPS is connected to. Baud rate can be adjusted. Most receivers use 4800. (GEtrax does not support USB interface.)
• Set the gps receiver to "NMEA" interface mode, and press the "Connect" button.
• Press the "Open in GE" button once the data has started to be acquired. (Or open file "gps.kml" in the GEtrax folder from within GE).
• How it works... The NMEA (location) data is read from the gps every second, and written to the file "nmea.kml". GoogleEarth uses the information in the "gps.kml" file to periodically read the "nmea.kml" file, which contains the location/track data. If you want to preserve the track, save the "nmea.kml" file (found in the GEtrax folder) as a different name, else it will get overwritten. The "gps.kml" file is merely the pointer to the information.
• Display options are similar to the F1 track conversion, except that the track cannot be collapsed or split up. You can also elect to display the track with either North or Heading up.
• The "Rate" box sets, in seconds, how often GE refreshes the display. Too short a refresh will cause GE to slow down on some systems. If the refresh interval is set to zero, GE will never refresh the display (you must refresh it manually by using the "Open in GE" button). Track points are saved at the same interval as the refresh rate. (i.e., if refresh is set to 5, only every 5th data point will be used). If the rate is set to zero, all data from the gps is used, the display is just not automatically updated.
• Any change in the refresh rate is immediately passed to GE. - Note that the refresh rate can be changed from within GE by right-clicking on the "GPS link" folder and editing the refresh parameters. This will get overwritten by whatever is set in GEtrax the next time you change the refresh number.
• Max track length: The unmarked box next to the Rate box is used to set the maximum length of the displayed track, in order to stop GE from slowing down when displaying long tracks. Set it to zero to display no track (just the location icon). Set it to one to display the entire track. Any other number displays that many track points.
• Live NMEA data can be automatically uploaded to a server. See this section to find out how.

Get APRS data from the Internet

• This mode is intended to retrieve Ham Radio APRS data from findu.com and plot it.
• You must enter a ham callsign that uses APRS transmissions (try VE3TEN as a sample).
• The two buttons allow for getting either the most recent data or the data over the last four days.
• The "Poll Internet" box will repeatedly grab the data for stations that are moving. The frequency of polling will depend on whether the vehicle is moving or not. It changes from 10 to 30 seconds.
• "View in browser" opens the findu web page that contains the location of the Ham Radio transmitter.
• The owner of findu.com may change his page setup without notice. If that happens, I will need to change GEtrax in order to retrieve the data from his page.
• APRS data can also be received directly by a radio receiver. See the following topic.

Plot APRS data using AGW packet engine (not fully supported)

• This mode is not fully supported, as it relies on third-party software. If you use it, you are on your own. Some instructions follow...
• APRS is a method used by radio hams to transmit data, including location, via 2-meter radio. AGW is essentially a modem which can be used to convert the received signal (via a sound card) into text or binary data. GEtrax can then take this data and convert it into a kml file for GE.
• APRS data is usually passed on to an Internet server. See the above topic to see how to receive it.
• Download the free version of the AGW packet engine from the AGW page and install it. AGW PE requires some setup - follow the author's instructions. Sound card levels are fairly critical.
• A block diagram for setting up a receiver to use with AGW is found here.
• Start Google Earth prior to starting GEtrax. If AGW isn't started, GEtrax will prompt you to run it. It assumes it is in the Program Files folder.
• Select AGW mode in GEtrax and select either Port 1 or 2 (depends on how you have set up AGW).
• Once the sound card is adjusted, you should see data coming in (lower text box). To see more detailed data, put GEtrax in debug mode (F12).
• You can select the callsign to look for from the callsign drop-down text box. The callsign in the textbox will be centered in GE once selected. The list is automatically updated with the name of stations received.
• If you don't want GE to center on a particular station, leave the callsign window blank.
• To stop GE from grabbing focus, temporarily uncheck the Port box while changing GEtrax parameters..
• The "?" button opens the selected callsign in the QRZ web page.
• If the selected station is displayed, its icon is a red triangle and the track is red.
• If the station has moved, its icon is a green triangle and the track is green.
• If the station is stationary, its icon is the default as selected by the user. Stations that have never moved can be inhibited from being plotted by checking the "Moving only" box.
• All stations are plotted if their location can be determined. If they are moving, a track will be displayed.
• The AGWdata file is sent to GE every time new data is added, provided the "Auto" checkbox is checked. In order to stop GE from auto loading the file, uncheck the box. Press the "Open in GE" button to force a new file being loaded.
• The file can be auto-uploaded to a server by checking "Connections / Auto ftp track data".
• The bracketed number after the "AGWdata" folder is the number of stations received.
• The bracketed number after the placemark name is the number of times the station has been received with location data.
• In the track folder, the bracketed number after the station name is the number of unique trackpoint locations received.
• Altitude and speed data are currently not used in AGW mode, so program functions that use them won't work.
• Timestamps are derived from the time the signal is received, which may not be accurate.
• Stations are only counted as being received if their location can be determined. If the data contains no location information, the data is simply discarded.

Output KML file in Google Maps format for sending to a server

• Google Maps cannot display a KML file that resides on your computer, only one that has been loaded onto a server. So if you select Google Maps mode, GEtrax will prompt you to transfer the output file to a server. Once the file is on a server, you have the option of emailing the link to the file to whoever you wish, so that they can open the file in Google Maps. This has the advantage of letting others see your track or location even if they don't have Google Earth installed.
• If you don't know how to put a file on a server, see this.
• KML files for Google Maps are a slightly different format from GE KML files.
• In Google Maps mode, some KML file information is removed so that Google Maps will display it correctly.
• For an example of a GEtrax-generated file that is viewed in Google Maps, just click this link.

FTP a kml file or real-time (NMEA) track data to a server

• GEtrax can ftp a file to a server. Why this is useful:
• Once the file is on a server, you can share the file with as many people as you wish.
• Updating the file means others get the latest version without having to email them new files.
• If you want to send someone a track who does not have Google Earth installed, you can select "Gmap" mode and send then a link so they can see the track in Google Maps on any computer.
• In the case of real-time gps NMEA data, others can see your progress from anywhere in the world, in real time.
• Some help on putting a file on a server using ftp:
• If your ISP allows you to create your own web page, you have access to a server. You may have to ask your ISP how to access it.
• Under "Menu/Connections, select "FTP setup and upload".
• Enter your User ID, Password, and the Host Name of the server.
• If the data is to go to a subfolder on the server, enter the subfolder path in the "Host directory" box.
• Enter the path to your server page in the "HTTP path" box, including any subfolders entered above. For example: my web page for kml files is http://web.295.ca/~gpz550/kml/. Entering that path in the box will result in generating a link to the uploaded file, such as this one.
• Note that if you use a subfolder in the "Host directory" box, that path must be reflected in the "HTTP path" box.
• Once the text boxes are set, pressing "Upload latest" should upload the most recently created kml file to the server.
• You can verify the transfer by pressing the "More >>>" button to display the directory on the server. This menu has other standard ftp functions that you can use.
• Note: In order to get a browser to correctly open a kml file, you may need to download an ".htaccess" (or httpd.conf) file to the server folder containing the kml files. (Samples of these files are included in the "Samples" subfolder.) If it doesn't work, search the BBS site for possible solutions. The server may take some time to read the file in order for it to take effect.
• If you are in "Real-time location - NMEA" mode, you can automatically upload the latest track to a server:
• Under "Menu/Connections, select "Auto-ftp NMEA data".
• The latest data, as well as a "gpslink.kml" file will be uploaded.
• The rate at which data is uploaded is dependant upon the refresh rate setting in the NMEA window. Entering 20, for example, means that the file will be uploaded every 20 seconds (for most gps receivers).
• A new "gpslink.kml" file will be uploaded automatically if the rate has changed.
• To access the live track data, GE just has to open the gpslink file - GE will then use information in this file to periodically load the "Nmea.kml" file, which contains the track data. If it doesn't work, use a text editor to look at the gpslink file to make sure it has the correct path to the server.

Email someone a link to the uploaded file

• Once you have a file on a server, you can send a link to the file using "Email a link to a kml file" under Menu/Connections.
• Before emailing someone, the box "HTTP path" (in FTP setup) must be filled out. This path points back to your webpage location.
• If you wish to automatically add a signature when you send an email, this can be entered under "Connections/Set email signature".
• The email recipient should be able to just click on the link to open the file. If the browser opens the file as text, you need an .htaccess file on the server. See the note above.

Top Subframe Options

• Edit Buttons:
• The "Edit" buttons open either the source file or the most recently created output file in a text editor.
• The default editor is Notepad. If you want to use a different editor, put the path to it in line 05 of the ini file.
• Try the free version of TextPad. Much better than Notepad!


• GMT offset / Auto / Open in GE/Gmap Button:
• The GMT offset is used to correct timestamps in the file to your local time.
• The "Auto" checkbox will open the file in GE as soon as it is created.
• The "Open in GE" button opens the most recently created file in GoogleEarth.
• If in Google Maps mode, the button changes to "FTP to Gmap".

GoogleEarth Setup Options

• View:
• You can set the location that GE goes to upon loading a track or placemark file. As with any parameter, you can change it from within GE and save the file after changing it.


• Altitude (track and placemarks):
• The Altitude Mode will plot the altitude in various modes selected by this control. "Clamped to ground" is the best choice for most tracks, "Absolute" if you want to plot aircraft tracks. Select the extrude option to draw the trackpoints extruded to the ground.
• Waypoints can also be displayed above ground. It is best to select the "extruded" mode for this.
• The last option will display tracks with a false altitude proportional to speed. This can result in some odd displays, but it is interesting to get an idea of speed variations over distance. If this option is selected, a slider is displayed allowing the gain of the speed-to-altitude display to be varied.


• Placemark and Track Icons:
• Clicking the icon brings up a window to select a placemark icon. There are four palettes of icons to choose from, or you can select a custom icon.
• If the "Custom Icon" is checked, you can use an icon you create yourself... Create a png (portable network graphics) file, 32x32 pixels, and put it in the "GEtrax\Icons" sub-folder as a file named "Custom.png". You will also have to save the file as "Custom.jpg" in the same location, overwriting the two icon files that are there. (VB6 uses jpg files, GE prefers png.) Png and jpg files can be created by Photoshop or PaintshopPro, among others. Only one custom icon can be used.


• Transparency:
• You can vary the icon (and its corresponding label) and track transparency. Useful if you want to observe the ground under the clutter. Especially useful for displaying tracks extruded to ground, or tracks showing speed converted to altitude.


• Folder Name:
• You can enter your own title for the track, or use the auto filename option. If "Auto name" is selected, the output filename will be the same as the input name.
• Refresh output will rewrite the output file based on the last data downloaded. Very useful when changing track parameters without having to reload/resave a file. Note that if you deselect the "Split if stopped" option, refreshing the data will not remove the created track splits, and you must reload the file.


• Refresh output
• Will re-write the output file immediately without the need to re-load the data or specify an output file. Useful if you want to see the effect of changing color, thickness, etc. Preferable to use with the Auto checkbox enabled.
• Track color:
• Track color can be selected from one of 10 colors. Note that some colors may blend into the background.
• If you choose to vary the track color for each segment found, the color will cycle through the ten available colors, starting with the selected color. You can also manually change the track color from within GE.
• You can also choose to vary the track color based on the date stamp. Each day will cycle through one of the ten colors. Useful for long trips!
• Track width can be varied (width is in pixels).

Track Options

• In F4 (live tracking) mode, you can select to have GE display Heading up or North up.


• Show Details:
• When checked, displays detailed data for each trackpoint. Click on the track points to display.
• Displayed speeds are calculated from the time between two trackpoints. This can result in large errors, as the time resolution is only one second, so small time differences can have large errors (a 3-second delta time can have a 33% error).
• Using this option can result in large kml files, and a slower display in GE!


• Collapse Segments:
• Collapses all track segments into a single segment per day of data. Note that if you choose both "Collapse" and "Vary color by segment", you have essentially a single track with a single color.


• Split if Stopped:
• Splits the track into segments when speed is zero. Most effective if "Vary by segment" is checked.
• Note that due to gps timing, a short stop, such as at a stop sign, may not be recorded as zero.
• Also note that hitting Refresh output will not clear any track splits. You will have to reload the file to do that.


• Speed Threshold
• When checked, allows you to enter a number in the box representing speed. Any track point over that speed will have an orange dot displayed for that trackpoint (Show details must be enabled to use this). If the speed is 10 or more units above the threshold, the dot will be red. If stopped, the dot will be blue (note - gps timing resolution may mean that some dots may show as stoppped when, in fact, you are moving)


• Split Track at Point
• If you want to split the track, find the track point number first by using the Show details mode. Enter that number in the box, hit Refresh output, and the track will split there. Best used in conjunction with "Vary by segment" option so the track segments are different colors. Inhibited if Collapse segments is checked. (Very useful if you want to delete a chunk of track - split the track; refresh the file; in GE, right-click in "My places" folder and choose delete or cut. Save file in GE.)
• Note that hitting Refresh output will not clear any track splits. You will have to reload the file to do that.

General Notes and Hints

• Track segments with only one point are not plotted. The detailed information will still be displayed, however.
• Once the file is opened in GE, most parameters can be edited from within GE, or just use GEtrax to re-write the file (using the Refresh output button) with different parameters (color, track thickness, etc.).
• The "Eye altitude" (in meters) and "Tilt" angle apply to any mode. Selecting an individual placemark in GE will go to the chosen "Eye altitude" and "Tilt".
• Try manually editing the kml file with a text editor to remove unwanted segments - it may be quicker than doing it in GE.
• If you move the file to "My places" within GE, they are stored separately by GE, you can then delete the kml file created by GEtrax.
• Very long continuous tracks may not display in GE. This is probably a graphics card limitation and will vary with card type. Mine limits at around 5000 track points, for example.
• Speed is calculated from the time between points. If this gives erroneous speeds, your only option is to delete the problem points in the source file.
• You can select between Metric, Imperial or Nautical display. This affects distance and speed display only. Altitudes can be displayed in feet meters.
• Altitude mode:
• If the track file contains no altitude information and you have selected to use it (altitude mode set to absolute, for example) the program will suggest setting the altitude mode to "Clamped to ground", else the track may not be visible in GE. GPS altitude errors may cause the track to display slightly below terrain if "Absolute" is selected. The same goes for setting the terrain gain in GE - if the GE terrain gain is set to 3 and the altitude mode is set to "Absolute", the terrain display may be higher than the track file. If you can't see the plot, change the Altitude Mode to "Clamped to ground" in GEtrax, and press Refresh output.
• Negative altitudes are set to zero.
• If "Clamped to ground" is chosen, all altitudes are set to zero.
• Placemarks can also be set to "Absolute" altitude. If there is no altitude information available in the waypoint file, the placemark is set at the "Eye altitude" above ground. If altitude information is available, the placemark is set to that altitude. "Extruded to ground" placemarks have a line drawn from their position to ground.
• Altitudes are sent to GE in meters, and have a resolution of 1 meter. This is plenty accurate enough, and stops some display problems with European decimal notation. Ozi stores altitudes in feet.

Program Registration

• You must enter your correct email address in the registration box (under the Help menu).
• Clicking the Register button will send me your email address and program serial number.
• When you receive the unlock code, enter it in the Key Code box as well as your email address exactly as you sent it to me.
• Click the Activate button to unlock the program.
• You can install GEtrax on more than one computer without sending more money, so long as you are the owner of the computer. Just email me the serial number on the other computer, and remind me that you already have a previous registration. The same goes if you upgrade your computer; just send me the new serial number (GEtrax is registered to a particular computer).
