About The Project

A CLI app to convert FlightAware KML tracklogs to G1000 CSV for importing to ForeFlight for those who do not have mobile ADS-B that can connect directly to ForeFlight for breadcrumbs. This is a forked project that extends the basic functionality and code structure of the existing project.
