garmin connect export to google earth fails

grguthrie

I have a new Fenix5, and a few new activities, and when I choose export to Google Earth" ti downloads a.kml file, but it won't load into GE, it gives the error:

"Error loading data file ... Missing point coordinates Line 38"

same exact error for several different activities (same line # in each).

I don't see anything immediately obviously wrong with the data:

        <Point>
          <coordinates>-93.01184898242354, 40.875366032123566
          </coordinates>
        </Point>

    Not surprising - the coordinates must be within the range from -90° to +90°. Yours are -93°, but I have no idea how they got there. Perhaps the GPS was not locked yet, when you started the activity? My own activity files are all right.

    Hmm,I just noticed that I had (from some exploration) accidentally changed the default app for .kml files to a tool called "GPXSee", and it was the one giving the error messages.

    The .kml's exported from Garmin Connect did work fine in Google Earth!

    My mistake - sorry!
