Don`t make this a boolean. I would like to add different log levels, to record full telemetry and/or KML and/or RSSI / frequency offset etc. Perhaps change the name to "LogLevel" and use a bitmask. Thanks.

This configuration entry is only for enabling KML output (like Habitat output which is a boolean too), and in this current changeset the data which is exported in the kml is not configurable (lat,lon and altitude). When new features for kml export will be implemented I suggest that we add configuration variable for these features, but since we don't know what may be supported in the future I suggest that we don't add configuration entries which are not supported. It would be nice to implement logging with the features you mentioned but this is out of scope of this kml feature.

I agree that an EnableKML bolean seems consistent with the other features and perhaps LogTelemetry/LogKML/LogRSSI boleans if/when the ability to log these values is added in future?
This new feature enabled by EnableKML=Y in gateway.txt allow to export in a KML file .kml for each payload, updating in realtime the position in the track of the kml. A -refresh.kml is also automatically created for viewing in realtime the updated positions from google earth.
This feature will be used in the chasecar when the internet connection is lost and will allow to have the payload position on a map even without internet connection.
