  • 1.  MIPro 2021: Export to *.kml => Objects will incorrect located/placed in Google Earth

    Hi.

    Tried to export a layer into *.kml and to open it in Google Earth. But location failed.
    Content: Boundaries of Germany
    Projection: "physically" Lat/Lon WGS 84

    Did use the "Export"-feature in MIPro 2021 based on GDAL.

    As you can see: 
    Based on *.kml: Germany will not be placed very accurate (and turned 90deg clockwise). :)
    Based on *.shp: Works fine 

    Cannot detect any settings in the GDAL-Export to put into consideration when using *.kml. 
    Do I have to check/set special system settings in MIPro when using *.kml?

    Any idea for me?

    Regards
    Oliver

    Hi Oliver

    We have identified a bug when exporting to KML using the LIBKML driver.

    The coordinates have been reversed in the KML file.

    Can you try using the KML driver, or potentially use the GE Tool?

    Let us know if this works for you

    Thanks

    Hey Peter.

    Thanks for getting back.

    I started trying the different options to export into GoogleEarth-format.

    Using he GELink-Tool: all of the three options worked fine and placed the objects correctly.

    ... to follow up.
    I now tried the two options to export to *.kml via "Table > Export" (which is a new feature in V20121).
    Both falied.
