Python Program to Convert GPS Log file into a KML File for Display on Google Earth

In this video lesson we show you how you can transfer data from your Raspberry Pi Pico W GPS Project to your PC for display on Google Earth. This program transfers the Pi Pico GPS Log file to your PC, and as the transfer is done, the program converts the log.txt file into a .kml file for display on Google Earth.

 

Measure Distance Between Two GPS Points with the Haversine Equations

In this video lesson we show how we can modify our GPS tracker project to calculate the distance between any two GPS points. User presses the onboard button to log the first data point. Then the user travels to the next point, and then presses the button again. The system calculates the distance between those two points, and the heading angle between the first and second point.

This is a schematic of the circuit we are using:
