Hi all,  
Is there a way to save GPS position data to the telemetry logs? I am currently getting GPS position into QGC using NMEA Router with a topside USB GPS. I have exported the logs using Mission Planner, but I can’t see anything that looks like position data. Should there be? Is there a parameter I need to change in QGC? Have tried enabling GPS\_RAW\_DATA with no success.

Also, any suggestions on the best CSV export method for the tlog? Mission planner works but doesn’t seem to format correctly

Cheers

OK, answered my own question, posting here for others. Upgraded to the newest version of QGC to see lat/long data. And using this program [here](https://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/extracting-data-from-tlog-files-for-plotting-in-excel), you can nicely format the data.
