I am trying to plot some waypoints using the Google-Earth toolbox. The documentation for it is pretty poor, so I figured this would be a good Stack Overflow question.
I have a matrix, wypts
that has pairs of latitude and longitude coordinates in decimal format (If anyone is wondering this over the State College Airport (SCE) in Pennsylvania).
wypts =
40.8489 -77.8492
40.8922 -77.8492
40.9355 -77.8492
40.9788 -77.8492
41.0221 -77.8492
41.0654 -77.8492
41.1087 -77.8492
41.1154 -77.8492
The following does not work instead of plotting points in Pennsylvania, it plots nothing in the off the south pole:
output = ge_plot(wypts(:,1),wypts(:,2))
ge_output('wypts.kml',output)
You have your latitudes and longitudes mixed up. The help documentation for ge_plot
says that the first input should be longitude, and the second input should be latitude. Try this:
output = ge_plot(wypts(:,2),wypts(:,1));
ge_output('wypts.kml',output);
