Is it possible to use this to pre-plan a route from point A to point B and then have it run the simulation?

Hello all,

 I was wondering if it is possible to pre-plan a route by clicking on different way points then start the simulation? The route would then run from point A to Z at the pre determined speed? 

I did it as follows.

Generate way point list by Google Earth , and save it as a KML file.
Open KML with free SATGEN NMEA( https://www.labsat.co.uk/index.php/jp/free-gps-nmea-simulator-software ). STAGEN NMEW is able to convert from KML to GPS NEMA file specifing max speed/G and so on.
Once you have NMEA file, original gps-sdr-sim can handle to generate gps i/q signal.

I tried to use that process, but I get an error when loading or importing any kml file into the labsat software. I get a error of

I have tried seveal KML files and also several windows PC's and I get the same thing. I Did get a trial version of their paid software and it does work using that, but it is limited to 120 seconds of playback.

I am using version 4.8 of the free software. I have opened a support ticket with labsat but from the looks of it they only offer support to their paid version. I have not heard anything back in over a week.

Are you using the newest version off their website? Or happen to have a older version I could try?

thanks!
FYI I love your project. still playing around but it is pretty cool. I'm learning a lot!

Version of SatGenNMEA.exe I'm using is V4.8i. It looks like same as one on the website now. It worked on Windows7 and Windows10.

it looks like the labsat software does not like the output of the kml file from google earth. Using google maps it works.

thanks
