To convert a KML Shape File with a URL element into a supported format for ForeFlight Mobile, follow these steps using Google Earth and a web browser:
Example of an unsupported URL element in a KML file:
<NetworkLink>...<href>http://www.google.com/maps/...
STEP 1. Open the KML in Google Earth.
STEP 2. Right-click on the folder with the network cable icon (indicating that data is accessed from the Internet).
STEP 3. Select Get Info.
STEP 4. Copy the URL.
STEP 5. Paste the copied URL into a new browser window. The KML file containing the points, lines, and shapes will download.
STEP 6. Import the downloaded KML file into ForeFlight Mobile. For guidance on importing, see the article: How can User Map Shapes, KML, or KMZ Shape files be imported?
