Transform to KML Appears to Work but places placemark in the wrong place.

I have a KML transformation workspace that seems to create the placemark (lat/lon) in the correct location looking at the text of the KML, but when it renders in Google Earth doesn't appear in the correct place. Has anyone seen this before. I have attached the KML. The icon should be placed on the final position of the aircraft which is close to Riverside Airport. Instead it places it closer to the beginning of the flight.

@cawgit Looking at the KML to achieve what you are looking at, you will need to generate a point element (KML), which will be the last record from your waypoints data.

To this point you can use the KMLStyler transformer to set the icon for the point (in your case aircraft)

Currently you have only line elements in your KML file representing the flight path.

Hope that helps

Happy FME:-)
