fr24-kml-splitter

This is a very small tool that can edit flightradar24 KML track. It does two things:

• Removes the trail lines from the KML file. FR24 adds both the recorded positions and trail lines to the files, sometimes you just want the positions without the trail.
• Optionally splits the track at the timestamp you specify.

Usage

General

Specify the track file as first argument:

go run main.go ~/Downloads/track.kml

The modified file will be written to this directory as route-only.kml

Splitting the track

To split the track, you need to specify the first timestamp of the new flight as second argument:

go run main.go ~/Downloads/track.kml 2025-04-08T15:40:35Z

This will split the track before this timestamp and create two distinct track files: route-only-first.kml and route-only-second.kml
