Greetings!
I’m brand new to Cesium, having found it through a google search for interactive trail maps. I volunteer for a non-profit mtb trail association and we are looking to get some new trail systems “on the map”.
I installed Cesium and the web server and have looked at the tutorials. The CZML tutorial seems the best fit for what we’re trying to do, but I’m having trouble getting certain things figured out.
Most GPS tracking apps and devices (Garmin) use .gpx file formats. How can I convert that to czml? I know it has been asked many times and there currently is no converter, but how does the data in czml correspond to gpx?
For example, the vehicle.czml file in the tutorial has the coordinates written as
0.0,-2379754.6637012,-4665332.88013588,3628133.68924173,
10.0,-2379510.08905552,-4665419.64840452,3628182.20006795,
20.0,-2379568.4769522,-4665555.3441867,3627970.83323261,
``
whereas a gpx file looks like this
32.7
2015-01-08T14:26:56Z
32.7
2015-01-08T14:26:59Z
``
In the czml, what are the 0.0, 10.0, 20.0 at the beginning of every line and where is the elevation data?
I think I’m going to leave it here for now, baby steps.
I hope somebody is willing to help me out with this, I’d greatly appreciate it!
Cheers,
Chris
