I have a txt file with a lot of positions in x, y, z format, representing a flight where x is the amount of meters to the east (or west) from a starting point, y equals the amount of meters to the true north (or south) and z is the height in feet above that point.
In other words: it's a 3d track, based on the point 0,0,0. Each line gives a new position relative to the first 0 reference, making it look like this:
0,782 -0,572 0,097
0,833 -0,713 0,097
1,013 -1,209 0,100
1,398 -2,264 0,105
2,090 -4,167 0,114
3,205 -7,229 0,128
4,839 -11,720 0,149
During the last few days I've been trying to figure out how I can convert all these points to coordinates if I know the exact coordinates and altitude of the 0,0,0 reference point where all the positions in the file are based on, but so far I cannot get the job done..
I'm a real newbie and trying to import a flight into google earth to visualize it and see the height above terrain at each point instead of having the height above the starting point only.
Is there anybody who could explain me what I can do or have to read in order to succeed? (I've really tried to find the answer on this site) I would be so happy if I get this problem resolved and will give feedback and a lot of appreciation for the one who is able to help me out!
Thank you very much..
