Hi Johan et al,<br><br>I have had the same problem in the past. I emailed the developer but have not had a reply. Our workaround involved exporting as a gpx file and using that. I think that the problem lies with additional xml data within the kml relating to the time of data capture. Use GPX when you export from GPS Essentials.<br>

Can you open the file with a text editor?<br>

Are there any other tools to convert to for instance shape-files.<br>
GPS-Essential save their data in a sqlite-file, so I can export from<br>

Just as simple as Add new spatialite layer, if it is a spatialite sqlite database. Otherwise it would be a non-spatial layer. You can try Qgis DB Manager to look inside the database.<br></blockquote></div></div><div><br>
the sqlite seems to lack spatial data, even if there are coordinates. Will try to learn more about this...<br>

Has GPS-Essential any other output options? I would assume GPX, beeing standard in GPS data exchange.
