Solicito ayuda para importar un track en KMZ al armar manualmente una patrulla, solo toma archivos GPX y no logro encontrar un conversor que el smart de escritorio me lo tome como valido

Hi Antuel,

You will need to convert it to import to SMART. Here’s a few possible options:

Download GPSBabel: https://www.gpsbabel.org/
Open GPSBabel.
Input Format: Google Earth (Keyhole) Markup Language (.kml/.kmz)
Output Format: GPX XML
Click Convert.
Import the resulting .gpx into SMART Desktop under:

OR

Open the .kmz in Google Earth Pro.
Right-click the track > Save Place As…
Choose .kml as format.
Use an online converter like GPS Visualizer: Convert GPS files to plain text or GPX to convert .kml → .gpx.

If SMART Desktop says the GPX is invalid:

Ensure it includes a <trk> (track) section, not just <wpt> (waypoints).
Strip out time or elevation tags if needed (use GPSBabel to simplify).

Please let us know if any of these options work.

Cheers,

Alex
