Thanks Maren but this genius needs some Linux help which I will post in a few minutes.
Attached is the program Convert_To_KML.doc download and store it as Convert_To_KML.REX in some directory on windows.
Now this program is written in REXX (its a language us old IBMers use) so you will need the OOREXX interpreter which easily downloaded from:
Open Object Rexx
Select the Windows (32 bit) ooRexx320-1-exe download and install.
If you want to run this on Linux, still use the Windows 32 bit version but install it under wine. There is a Linux version of ooRexx but it doesn't support the GUI interface that I use. PM me if you need further help installing it under Linux.
Now to convert a SeaClear Route to a Google Earth .kml file:
1. Use SeaClear to create the route and save it. For example Route1.SRW
2. Make a text file from the saved route by: File..Route..Print..then click on the disk icon and and save as a text (TXT) file for example: Route1.txt
3. Start this program by entering Convert_To_KML in a CMD window and select the source as "SeaClear_Route" and press "OK".
4. From the "Select_SeaClear_Route_Files" select the text file created in step 2 and then Click "Open".
5. A Confirmation message should say it created the kml file which will be the same name as the text file but with a .kml filetype. For example: Route1.kml
6. Start Google Earth, then File..Open and select the .kml file created.
This may sound like a lot of steps but is actually quite easy once you do it once.
To convert a SeaClear track see the description in the start of the program.
