Thank you for the reply.

The only reason I was successful in getting that far is because I didn't have to do anything. blush

I transferred data from my garmin gps (edge 500) to garmin's website and then exported from there straight to kml. I didn't manipulate the file at all.

I doesn't appear that garmin's website gives any choices when creating the .kml file. However, they do allow for .tcx or .gpx exports as well. Using a .gpx file directly exported from the garmin website works fine (just tested). Thus, I'll just use those or perhaps use google earth or the other programs mentioned in the help file to create the .kml file.

Thanks again!
John
