Map your flights on Google Earth

This is way cool. You can see your flights in 3-D.
Thanks @Rural-Geek . I didn't realize that feature was there.

Well... if you don't wanna be targeted by BB : stop your internet, throw your cellular, your computer and go live in the woods !

That is awesome! Can this be done with files from UAV Toolkit?

I don't know. Give it a try.

Site worked great this morning. Now I'm getting a server error when I try to pull up my flights. Is anybody else having this issue?

Steve Carr · Jul 23, 2017

Seems to be working now.

Very cool

Wouldn't know how to get those files out of UAV Toolkit...only ever viewed them on my ST-16.

The telemetry for the flight will have the same information.

I sent you an email. Everything is back in order now.

To get the Google Earth animation working you need a KML or KMZ (which is the same file in a zipped format).
These files are generated upon each flight log upload on WebFlightPath.com. They relie on the CSV telemetry files that are in you STxx remote controler. You can also convert your CSV files to KML/KMZ files (and even more!) on the excellent site : gpsvisualizer

i'm uploading a new one, please be patient!

Atomic08 · Jul 24, 2017

OK !
I am still not able to get an animation working.
I can convert to KML And KMZ but can get no further
I'll wait for the new video
Thanks

If you use files (KML or KMZ) from webflightpath.com, you don't need to convert anything ! All is already done for you when you upload your CSV file.
Have you installed Google Earth on your computer ? If so, just download the kml file (it should automatically open GE), if not, install GE on your computer before trying to get the animation working.

Yes I have GE installed.(ver v7.1.8.3036)
I have been able to show flight paths from previous flights
but can not figure out how to get the animation.

hummm.....This does not look like a KML file from webflightpath.com, that's why you can't get the animation I think. The KML files from webflightpath are in a specific format which allows animation. Not all KML files can do this, it depends how they are formated. That's why you must use the files from my site if you want to have a 3D animation in google earth.
