No timestamps in KML file?

[routeconverter]

I just decided to write an awk script that does the conversion. Without missing any timestamps, that is, so it definitely can be done.

I'd definitely want to integrate that knowledge into RouteConverter. I simply don't understand what you did and what I have to change. Please describe what your awk-script does: what it reads from KML and what it writes to GPX.

It took me about an hour to get it right. While I was at it I wrote another script to get the Google elevations via their Elevation Service, so I am now independent of "3D Route Builder".

I was considering that but the current implementation works fine. It downloads SRTM files from the NASA servers and falls back to geonames.org and earthtools.org if that fails.

I am curious whether you will consider to include 3D (Google Earth API) in RouteConverter. That would be a major improvement which would put RouteConverter ahead of the competition.

You know thats a lot of work? I means throwing away most of the code for the UI, losing routing, adding positions to convert routes to tracks, adding postal addresses and I guess some more features.
