Importing google earth path with too many waypoints

Sr1965kr

I have tried to import kml file that was generated from airdata previous mission. The number of waypoints was more than 1000.

App hangs out in browser and became unresponsive. After waiting for a long time the import showed in my mission repository as plan, but after selecting app became unresponsive too, so I cannot delete it either. What is the limit of waypoints that app can import from google earth.

    The KML import was designed for KML files that have points that are reasonably spaced out. The problem with trying to import KML files from things like Airdata is the points in the KML can be inches apart, and even if the app could import it, you would end up with a bunch of useless waypoints cluttering the screen. We have contemplated a feature request that would be something to the extent of "only import every 100th point", but it is still on the drawing board.

    How can I delete that erroneous flight? I cannot delete entire repository because it is not empty and cannot access that flight.

    At this point it is probably corrupted and needs to be deleted manually. Can you include a link here so I can do it?
