I get an error, BC 4.7.0 is running and GE Pro is running and I get the followoing error: Can't start the process, because there is no filename specified. The "complicated" part is finding the other programs (which can be installed in various locations on different PCs) that BC2GE uses. It's (relatively) easy to convert the GDB data to KML.
It's (relatively) easy extracting the data from the clipboard. GPSBabel can convert files using command line options (meaning it can be easily called from other programs). In the future, I might change how BC2GE does the copy (it requires a fair amount of work). The program doesn't copy the data in exactly the same way as the integrated BaseCamp copy. If these programs change how they save their configuration data to the registry, BC2GE would need to be updated (which is easy to do). The program looks in the Windows registry to figure out where things (like BaseCamp, GPSBabel, and Google Earth) are installed on your computer. If people have problems doing that, I can change it to use 4.5.2.
Gpsbabel windows build install#
Or it might mean you need to install the 4.6.1 version. This might mean it won't run on "really old" versions of Windows. The program uses the 4.6.1 version of the "dotnet" framework. You can purchase and download the program from here: Sometimes, these are old versions that won't work for this.) (A bunch of things install GPSBabel in various locations.
You have to be running a recent version of GPSBabel (installed in the standard way). BC2GE then runs Google Earth with the KML file. BC2GE extracts the clipboard data and uses GPSBabel to convert it to a KML file. When you copy items in BaseCamp (into the clipboard), the data is in GDB format. The " <<" button makes the window small (so it doesn't cover so much). The " >" button gives you some more options. You might want to check "Top most" so that the BC2GE window floats on top (so, it's easily accessible). (BaseCamp or MapSource.)Ģ- In BaseCamp, copy (Edit->Copy / ctrl-C / right-click-copy) the item into the clipboard.ģ- Click the purple " Copy" button in BC2GE => This will send the file to Google Earth (running it if it isn't already running).ġ- Drag gpx, fit, kml, or tcx files onto the " Copy" button.ġ- Copy gpx, kml, or tcx (as text) into the Clipboard.Ģ- Click the purple " Copy" button in BC2GE => This will send the text to Google Earth (starting it if it isn't already running). Google Earth will only let you paste text that is kml).ġ- Run BC2GE and BaseCamp (the order doesn't matter). * It will copy text in the clipboard that is formatted as gpx, txc, or kml. * You can drop gpx, tcx, and kml files onto the "Copy" button.
Gpsbabel windows build update#
* It works in a simple way (which means it would be easy to update if Google Earth changes how it works). * It should work with MapSource (I've tried it with 6.16.3). * It should work with all versions of BaseCamp (I've tried it with 4.6.2 and 4.7).
Gpsbabel windows build 64 Bit#
* It works with either 32 bit or 64 bit Google Earth. It's one extra minor step compared to the GE integration that no longer works in BaseCamp. Here's a program ( BC2GE) I wrote that will copy BaseCamp or GPX/TCX/KML clipboard data to Google Earth. However, the Android application I use on my smartphone only supports KML.The program was updated 8 11:27 EST (NYC) time.
