The .KML/.KMZ file format support in AlpineQuest

AlpineQuest can read various items from KML/KMZ files, including:

  • Points, paths, polygons, tracks and multi-tracks;
  • Colors and some point icons.

AlpineQuest doesn't support:

  • Ground overlays;
  • Elements linked to an online account;
  • Altitude values stored online, such as altitude mode 'ClampToGround';
  • Online styles, icons and images.

All KML/KMZ files are read-only, however it's possible to export tracks recorded with the GPS Location Tracker in KML format.

How to export tracks in KML format

  • From the GPS Location Tracker window, click on the “Export” button;
  • If desired, enter a name and a description for your track;
  • Check the “KML” export format option ;
  • Click on the “OK” button to proceed to the export.

The track will be exported in a KML file in the AlpineQuest landmarks folder (by default '/sdcard/alpinequest/landmarks/').
