Mapshare KML feeds

Hi,

I don't get it, why the KML Feed URL from Garmin doesn't really does what it's suposed to do:

You just get the file as a download, but you want the content of the KML in the response body, so you can feed it to a external Webapp!

https://inreach.garmin.com/Feed/Share/XXX?d1=2023-07-16T10:00z&d2=2023-07-20T12:00z

That's what i got.

How do I get the .kml file in the response, like you find it usually on other applications, example:

http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/KML_Samples.kml

Thats how the URL should look like?

Someplace, there is a legacy document which explains this. You will probably have to open a support ticket to find it.

Hello 1468146 It sounds like you need to be using API instead of KML feeds.

Harness the flexibility of our Rest API to independently manage your inReach devices and build powerful integrations with your web-based server.

Our API gives your organization the freedom to create unique solutions that suit your team’s needs. From making sure all inReach device data and messages are sent to your server to setting up communications with field teams, our flexible API will make what you need happen.

You’ll find all updates, code, and general information by clicking on the Download the Guides button.

https://developer.garmin.com/inreach-portal/overview/. The API will send a raw data feed to wherever you want and then your 3rd party app can work it from there.

In order to use this option though you would need to have a professional account and not a personal inReach account. Switching My inReach Subscription From a Personal Account to Professional Account.
