My ebay includes an EggTime GPS-TX with an OpenLog breakout and uSD card installed. I am using single electronic deployment at apogee with a JLCR chute release. I am hoping to get some advice on how to get a Goggle Earth Flight Track. I have renamed the TXT file to *.nmea which I can open directly in Google Earth. I also tried converting to a *.kml file with the same results.
I open the file in Google Earth Pro and uncheck everything especially “Adjust altitudes to ground height”
The issue I have is the track seems to stop when the apogee ejection charge is fired and all of the ground movements are showing. What is missing is the GPS track of the descent. Like this:
I assume I can get rid of the ground tracks by deleting the sentences from the *.nmea file, but the descent data is missing. I am expecting a track like these but it isn’t working:
I am attaching the *.nmea file (rename it back with a nmea extension since I can only upload it as a TXT file.)
What am I doing wrong to not see the descent track?
