Need of transferring Google Earth Data to a GIS? Kml2shp transforms KML
files into ESRI Shapefiles.
The KML file could contain Points, Paths and Polygons. When creating SHP
files the information is separated into thematic layers.
For each shapefile (shp), an attributes table (dbf) and index file (shx) are
created.
The kml to shp conversion consists of three steps:
1) Open KML file
2) Choose Shape Type
3) Select output Shapefile name
Optionally, you can change from WGS84 to a local datum and from Lat/Lon to
UTM.
Also, Kml2shp can export to AutoCAD (DXF) and GPS (GPX)
Free Software Tools
kml2Shp is a beta freeware tool. This program doesn't need to be
installed, just unzip it and run it.
kml2shp.zip contains the executable file (kml2shp.exe) and some bpl files. If
you receive a message error about missing bpl files, come back here and get
them.
Feel free to report any bugs/comments!
KML2SHP Online available now !!! KML2SHP Desktop needs some major improvements.
