GeLog is a free tool which allows you to see your ADIF file in Google Earth. 

GeLog was originally made to analize contest logs, but you can use it to load any ADIF file.

The following video show an example of a KML file generated by GeLog 


By using the Google Earth time line you can see when each QSO happens.

Before using GeLog

Make sure you have Java installed 
GeLog is an application developed in Java language to run it you must have installed Java 1.5 or higher. 

To download Java please click here

Google Earth
In order to view the generated KML files you must have Google Earth installed.

QRZ XML Account 
GeLog resolves stations locations in two ways: 
  1. Through QRZ.com (recommended).
    To use this mode is necessary to have an account with access to XML QRZ.com Logbook Data service  http://www.qrz.com/XML/index.html
  2. Through  a local database that should be imported using the import tool provided by the application.


    If you run GeLog without a valid QRZ account and having an empty local database, GeLogs will assign a default location based on the call  prefix., this means all QSOs of the same country will have the same coordinates.
