Dan Otis]]> Tue, 15 May 2012 12:25:54 GMT http://www.earthpoint.us/forum/topic65-excel-to-kml-limit-display-based-on-zoom-level.aspx
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,

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.]]> Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:55:17 GMT http://www.earthpoint.us/forum/topic57-towhship-range-converter--no-county-information.aspx Sat, 18 Feb 2012 11:33:48 GMT http://www.earthpoint.us/forum/topic56-position-invalid-format.aspx

When I check "convert to Lat Long" and convert, the file comes back with "Position: invalid format" in column B.

Help please!

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,

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 ]]> Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:27:36 GMT http://www.earthpoint.us/forum/topic51-time-slider-subtracts-4-years.aspx 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.

I have IconAltitude and LineStringAltitude set as the dgps altitude in meters. And because I couldn't figure out anything better, I set IconAltitudeMode and LineStringAltitudeMode as MSL. But this causes my ground-level icons to be displayed below ground level. Is there anything I can do to correct the altitude problem?]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:44:38 GMT http://www.earthpoint.us/forum/topic47-offline-viewing-and-icons.aspx
