GIF Trajectory Does not Match KML

Hi,

I have been running back trajectory models for work and I noticed a potential problem. I have been saving the trajectories as kml files as well as gif. files. Something that Ive noticed is that they do not always completely match. For example, the kml file shows the 500m (blue) trajectory coming back south, while the gif file shows it continuing to the north. Is this a common problem?

Please see the attached images for reference.

Thank you!

It appears that not all points in the blue trajectory are drawn. Could you post the corresponding trajectory dump file? Having the trajectory dump file will make it easier to diagnose the issue. What options did you use for the TRAJPLOT program? Which version of HYSPLIT did you use?
