A ruby script that inserts proper TimeStamp nodes into a Google Latitude KML export.
I got the idea to use my Google Latitude history to fill in missing GPS data for pictures I take on my DSLR. I use Aperture, and the free Maperture Pro has the ability to import KML files, but the output of the Latitude KML download wouldn’t work. After some digging, I realized that Latitude doesn’t insert proper timestamp elements in the KML output. I hacked up this ruby script to parse the description elements (which contain the full timestamp) and insert the actual timestamp elements.
Caveat: the Latitude data is not great… but it’s usually better than nothing.
