Hi Salty,

Yup, file conversion can be a pita.
I see that Fish also had to tweak his KML file in order to show a line (i.e. track) on his maps and not just points.

Gmap4 simply passes the KML file to Google and Google paints that data on the screen. The Gmap4 code I wrote does not care (or even know!) if the data in the KML file represents points, lines or a combo.

There is a bunch of info here on using Yahoo Pipes to convert SPOT to KML. I think they include an example that you can tweak with your own data. http://faq.findmespot.com/index.php?action=showEntry&data=69
I do not have a SPOT so am no help in making that work.

Finally, there is info in the Gmap4 'Help' file on editing KML files. Be sure to see the appendix.

You're getting close!
