It’s FREE…It’s Easy…It’s EasyGPS! But doesn’t export to KML!

After doing a lot of mapping, say 500 points on my GPS, I needed a way to get them of my GPS. Doing it by hand, are you crazy or just really, really technophobic? So after purchasing a cable off eBay for a few bucks, and not sure if Garmin’s software required a license, I downloaded the free software EasyGPS. Great! I thought, until I noticed that it only exported to GPX format, and I could only use copy and paste internally in the application. Well thank god, they aren’t Microsoft[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and used XML [properly]. So I built a GPX2KML Converter. Questions, comments, suggestions are welcome. Leave them in the comments.

    Hey,

    How’s it going?

    Looks cool. I tested it out a little bit :) It doesn’t like GPX documents that dont have correct formatting lol! Unfortunately I didnt have any real GPX files I could test it with, but yeah.

    You still going and doing security talks at PHP conferences?

    Yeah, it uses SimpleXML so if it is correct.. well.. :)

    “You still going and doing security talks at PHP conferences?” When my knee gets better, I’ll be able to.

    Cheers,
