What is KMLCSV Converter?
KMLCSV Converter is a free open source software that enables you to convert Google Earth KML file to a formatted CSV file (and vice versa). This CSV file can then be uploaded into your Garmin GPS by using Garmin POI Loader, which can be downloaded for free. This allows you to easily plot all custom point of interests (POI) through Google Earth first before transfering them into your Garmin GPS. For further instruction in how to use to do so, please refer to the Tutorial.
What's New in KMLCSV Converter 2.1.0
Here are some of the major highlights of this new release:-
- Cross-platform compatible (Windows, Mac OSX and Linux).
- I have tested this software against Windows XP and Mac OSX (Leopard).
- The Linux releases are not tested. My linux boxes are down at the moment. So, if the software doesn't work, I would like to hear from you.
- Rewrote the whole software using Eclipse RCP Framework to provide more stability.
- Highly configurable.
- You can now specify the mappings between the KML tags and CSV fields.
- Smaller footprint compared to past releases.
- I received a few requests from institutions where they were parsing millions of KML Placemarks. This caused the software performance slowed down tremendously because these data were initially loaded into memory first. In this new release, the parsed data from the file are streamed directly to the viewer or to other file.
- A watched folder tree viewer that provides you an easy access to all your KML and CSV files.
- Ability to launch external application, such as Google Earth and Garmin POI Loader from this software.
