ForeFlight (merged thread)

Sounds like a bug…. quickest soln is likely to drop support an email with the details above. They usually come back very fast.

Now try sending it to Telegram. You don’t get the filetype choice now (in the Ipad app) and what Telegram gets is the FF server (“cloud”) URL only. And for me this URL displays the track (on a PC) but download fails:

Upon Download, it offers to save it as .json

and clicking on Save (this is now in Windows Explorer) produces

Anyway the file should obviously be .kml, not .json.

I just tried it and it works. I used share icon in “Track Logs” and then “Open KML in…” and just sent file to my Mac where I opened it with Google Earth application.

Ah yes OK, to email it works. I was sending it to Telegram, but FF apparently cannot send a file to a messaging app.

fwiw… just tried this. It works. I select the track log, hit the export button (box with an arrow coming out), select mail, select “attach KML file” and send it. When the mail arrives on my Mac, if I just click on the attachment, it starts G/Earth and displays it, or I can open it as a text file with an editor.

What flow do you use?

It isn’t dead. Export on mobile works for me.

That would suggest the track export feature in FF is simply dead, which I find hard to believe.

The process seems to involve exporting the track to a FF server (which perhaps happens continuously in the background) and then when you export from FF, it delivers a link to it. Or maybe it exports to the server only when you export in FF. Strange, since FF could export the track directly as GPX, KML, etc.

Export it (download to pc) from FF web app.
Then upload to FlySto.net instead of GE.

I am trying to plot an ex FF track log onto Google Earth. I have sent it to telegram where I see just a foreflight URL. I go to that URL and see the track in the browser. If I click Download I get kml.json or gpx.json but no actual file. Then it says
