The easiest thing to do would probably be to convert the information to to a loc format and load it into geoqo if you want to use it's GE output. The easiest way, probably, to do that is export the data into a CSV format that looks like this: 38.75705, -120.52890, A name for the point 38.55778, -121.67105, A name for this other point (the names can be anything). Then use gpsbabel to convert them to a .loc file: gpsbabel -i csv -f INPUT_FILE.csv -o geo -F OUTPUT_FILE.loc Then you should be able to get geoqo to load them: geoqo -i OUTPUT_FILE.loc And finally plot the results: geoqo -s any: -e for_google_earth.kml -- "In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." -- Terry Pratchett |
