It is useful to export Flight information to Google Map. you can show basic flight information in google map cross platform through IP network.
You will need a webserver runing in the GCS computer, for python simpleHTTPServer:
cd ~/paparazzi/
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
to check if it work, you should see 8000 port is opened for listening.
-netstat -l|grep 8000
Then in Paparazzi center, excute a session. Pass some parameters to server agent:
server -kml -kmlport 8000 -hostname 192.168.0.100(replace with you paparazzi center IP address)
It's done. Now in any computer in the network, open browser to access http://192.168.0.100:8000/var/airframes/(you AC name)/
you will see FollowMe.kml file, open it with Google earth. you will be able to see the real time flight information. the information updated are:
