Writer Overview

The KML writer is capable of creating uncompressed (.kml) and compressed (.kmz) KML documents.

Note: All Z values are interpreted in meters, so you may need to manually convert between feet and meters.

Coordinate System Reprojection

The writer will automatically reproject features to LL-WGS84 if they are tagged with a different coordinate system.
