Trim Data Stream - GTrek II User Manual

When selected a pop-up box will be displayed requesting a file name, if the route has already been
saved then that name will be displayed as default. Any spaces in the file name will have been
replaced with "_" (underscore) characters and this is
recommended, all uppercase characters are also converted
to lowercase.
The data can be exported in either of 2 formats:-
1. As a KML file
This a raw data format and is compatible with all
versions of Google Earth and Google Earth for
mobiles.
2. As a KMZ file
This is a compressed file format and results in a
much small file size which will upload and
download much quicker but at the time of writing Google Earth for Mobiles supported by
Apple on IOS 4 and Android V2.x do not support this file format and the KML type should be
used.
The filename entered needs to be unique and selecting a simple common name may result in another
user overwriting your data so careful selection here is important. Click OK to accept the file name,
select any options required on the "Google Earth Export Settings" and click OK. The data will be
uploaded, this can take from a few seconds to a few tens of seconds, be patient.
Once uploaded a message will be displayed giving you the
URL of your file, in this case
http://www.gtrek.co.uk/~googlemaps/day_5.kmz. This
URL is also copied to the clipboard.
To open the file on a PC or MAC with Google Earth installed
open an Internet browser and paste the above URL into the
address bar and click Go, select open file in Google Earth
when downloaded. If Google Earth is not available you have
two options goto http://Earth.google.com and download
and install the free version or open an internet browser and goto http://maps.google,com and in the
search bar enter the URL provided above and click search. A map or a satellite view can be selected
here.
For Smart Devices open the internet browser and enter the URL in the address bar, when
downloaded select open in Google Earth. For Apple devices you may need to download Google Earth
from the app store first.
The data will remain on the GTrek servers for about a month after which it will be removed. Should
you need a longer period please let us know.
