Thanks. I figured it out. I used another program, IDL, to rearrange the values and then exported to Excel.

I would be happy to look at it. The Excel To Google Earth utility can map a line from one spreadsheet row to the next. So perhaps a macro could be used to rearrange the latitudes and longitudes in a way that they can be mapped.

I have a vector of latitude values (550) and a vector of longitude values (700) that create a custom grid I would like to plot in GE. I there a way to create a grid with these values? They are in Excel, but are simply two lists and cannot be used with the Excel to KML utlity. Final grid size is 700 x 550. Thanks,
Dan Otis

Excel to KML limit display based on zoom level

Hello,
I am creating a kml with 1000+ points on it. I was wondering if there is an option to set it so that it only shows a few of the points when you are zoomed out and then when you zoom in more it will display more of the points. I have seen it done on this file http://www.mci.mndm.gov.on.ca/mines/data/google/EDS013_rev/doc.kml . Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks,
Ryan

Why aren't the townships and ranges for the state of New York included as part of the BLM Grid product?

I have attempted to import a converted Excel File (kml) into Google Maps, but it will only import the first two hundred rows. In Google Earth, it imports all rows. Is this a limitation in Google Maps?

"AppendDataColumnsToDescription" vs. Excel Formula

Can someone please explain the difference between these two options in terms of including additional data columns in a location's description.
I have used the excel formula to concatenate multiple columns to then be included in the description, but I find that I lose formatting from time to time (e.g. currency vs. text) as well as needing to include the column header in each cell under the header to provide a "category" of sorts in the description box (e.g. Dallas vs. City: Dallas).
With the information that's available on the site about the AppendDataColumnstoDescription column, I find myself not understanding how to construct the spreadsheet in order to bring in additional columns.
Any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to use batch convert for the first time. My xls file has one column of UTM data (text format) and is attached as "test conversion.xls"
When I check "convert to Lat Long" and convert, the file comes back with "Position: invalid format" in column B.
Help please!
Thanks.

1970 era MGRS conversion

I am working with fellow Vietnam vets to locate MIAs. We have 1966-70 era topo locations, probably WGS60 or 66. Once I locate a physical feature on the topo and find it on Google Earth i can decline the view point and provide others a realistic terrain view to help them define events.
Using the Earth Point conversion utility,working with WGS84, the results are off by about 30 kilometers. My question- is there a standard adjustment that I can apply to the Earth Point conversion latitude and longitude to get something that will correctly correspond to the Vietnam era maps?
hope this is not too confussing, but I'm no cartographer. There are hundreds of these locations to determine, and any help would be much appreciated.
Thank You,
JLN

I was glad to find out about your Township & Range utility. However I notice that in my area (NW Oregon), the quarter section layer is off from the section & township layers by about 300 ft (east/west). The lines match up better N/S. It looks like the section & township layers are accurate and the quarter is the one that is off. I tried attaching a screen shot to this post.

'measuring' polygon reticulation

Does anyone know of a tool (here or elsewhere) to measure the reticulation of a polygon (for example, the shoreline of a lake)? I'm not even certain what the metric would be.. an index of some sort I would imagine.
Cheers,

information on My Places window

Hello all,
I'm posting to request some help to improve my performance running the Excel To Google Earth feature of Earth Point.
In attach three files:
- Orthetrum_trinacria.csv
- Orthetrum_trinacria.kml
- Orthetrum_trinacria.png
The Orthetrum_trinacria.csv is the initial one. The cells in the Name column were intentionally empty, to avoid labels on Google Earth. The Orthetrum_trinacria.kml is the result of the Excel To Google Earth feature.
Finally, the Orthetrum_trinacria.png is a screen shot presenting the Orthetrum_trinacria.kml opened on Google Earth.
Everything is fine in that concerns the text that appears in the Google Earth pop-up balloon. However in the left window (My Places window) on Google Earth, only the Icon is presented to each one of the several points.
In order to improve the quality of my Google Earth presentations, it will be wonderful if I can present to each point, in the My Places window, the contents of two cells: Spot_code and Spot_name (see Orthetrum_trinacria.csv, please).
It is possible?
Thank you very much for your attention and help.
Best regards,
Nuno

Time slider subtracts 4 years

hi,
In the conversion process the KML file is subtracting 4 years. I've tried a variety of date formats but no luck. I don't have any time value, just date. I'm getting a range of 2001-2007 instead of 2005-2011.
Thanks, Lili

Could you double-check the web page? If you are signed in, then your email address is displayed in the upper right corner of the web page. Also, on the Batch Convert page, the "Convert" button has a caption, "You are signed in. Please enjoy Batch Convert". Please let me know if their is still a problem.
Thanks,
