GeoJSON to Litchi Conversion

This web application can be used to convert a GeoJSON file into a Litchi waypoint mission. GeoJSON files are written in XML and are commonly used with Garmin devices. A GeoJSON file may contain three primary types of information:

  • Waypoints (converted to a Litchi waypoint mission)
  • Routes (ignored)
  • Tracks (converted to a Litchi waypoint mission)
    • Note: If both waypoints and tracks are present, tracks are used in the conversion.

Track segments typically containing GPS coordinates and elevations. The elevation data may or may not represent ground level MSL elevation data. If the "Above Ground" option is checked below, the specified height will be added to the difference between the elevation of the current waypoint minus the elevation of waypoint 1. In some cases, this will simulate the "Above Ground" option found in Litchi's Mission Hub.
