"""
The <name> tag in the <placemark> tag in the generated kml should show the
name from the <name> tag for the gpx track.
"""
Hi John,
This is not a "Defect" for me but a choice.
The "name" tag in the placemark is a name to describe the placemark in the KML
specifications.
I deliberately didn't match it to the "name" tag from the tracklog because I
don't
see the point to display "ACTIVE LOG #X" everywhere.
I much prefer to have a generic name that the general public (which will see the
google map) understand.
I've chosen "Path" but of course you can change it in the KML. I can also add
this as
a parameter you can set in a configuration file (that will come in future
versions).
For information Google Maps doesn't like "big" tracks so I will also
automatically
cut them in smaller sections to be sure it displays well.
