Title: How to.. export tracks and points problem
Post by: Rob on May 19, 2011, 07:55:35
Hi,
I know the feature of exporting tracks and points.
BUT I cannot import them into any other app like Google maps, google earth, ..- always getting error:
("400. That's an error.
Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. That's all we know. ")
Further: cannot upload (share) points to e.g. Dropbox - error: "textupload not implemented yet" (do not know if this comes from Locus or Dropbox)

Can anybody help ?
How can I export e.g. a point to google maps/earth showing also description and foto (see example attached)
I frequently use the foto-feature together with track/point description to create my "tourbook", like it very much, but want to export it to MyMaps

thx for help.
regards
Rob

hmm, it's more question into "Troubles" then to main informations so moved ...

anyway when I put your file into google earth, it show correctly. To show image, you have to change path in file to image. Actually there is

img src="data/photo_poi/Questura_1302868558553.png"

so change to some relative path to image, for example

img src="./photos/Questura_1302868558553.png"

and I'm sure it will work. And when you remove "width="60px" in description of image, you will see it in full size in Google earth ... nice ;)

thx for quick reply. I think I know my problem: I just imported in google.maps with the google earth plugin, but not directly into google earth. And this is not working - for what reason ever.
Now I installed GE, and yep - it works - except I do not get the Foto, despite the correction you mentioned.
I think, the pathname is still wrong. Do you have any fast idea (without keeping you away from your fantastic development work :-)

I tested this with foto of my own and absolute path, so with "C:/photos/Questura_1302868558553.png" it works for me. I expect that with relative path it will work also, so please try absolute path ..

oh, I´m so stupid :?  I did not recognize, that the images is not automatically exported with the POI... so GE could not find the image, because there was no ... (shame on me).
So I copied the img. in a local directory, adapt the path - and - yippieh - it´s shown in GE, in full size  :D

But  - of cause - this leads to a wish:  ;)
can you do, that images linked to a poi or track will be exported as well when exporting ?

thx for your help and sorry for my stupidness...
