6. Click on the style, color tab.
7. Choose a color of the Line you want to use.
8. In the Area part, choose OUTLINED, then click OK

9. A new polygon will be created in your My Places file

10. Right Click, then Save Place As. choose Save As KML file, then SAVE the KML file

11. Use DecDeg2DecMin.exe, click on CONVERT TO POINTS

12. Choose the KML file you just created from Google Earth and it wil automatiacally convert it to an XML file
13. Copy the XML file to your device's \Storage Card\SendMyLocation\XML folder
