Script Summary: A plugin for GPS Visualizer's GPS to GPX conversion tool that accepts KML LineString coordinates.
Google Earth doesn't natively support writing GPX formats, only reading them. This plugin is handy if you want to take a path you've created in Google Earth and create a GPX file. Draw your path in GE, copy the path (which copies it as a block of KML), extract the string of coordinates from the KML and paste it into http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input.
For example, pasting this:
172.23848,-41.46954,0 172.24323,-41.46826,0 172.24823,-41.47388,0
converts it to this:
name,desc,longitude,latitude
WP01,Waypoint,172.23848,-41.46954
WP02,Waypoint,172.24323,-41.46826
WP03,Waypoint,172.24823,-41.47388
This script also sets some defaults on the GPS Visualizer page including GPX output format, waypoint data type and 'best available' elevation data source.
