Keyhole Markup Language File
A file format developed by Keyhole, Inc. (later acquired by Google), that enables you to store and share geographical data with Google Earth, Google Earth Pro, and other geospatial software.
Key Features of KML
- XML Format: KML files use XML to store points, line strings, polygons, and Collada DAE models, which can be easily edited and customized.
- Interoperability: KML files can be viewed and manipulated by various applications and software, such as Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, QGIS, and more.
- Embedded Media: Users can embed images, videos, and links within KML placemarks and descriptions to enhance geographical presentations.
KML File Conversion
Our Automapki Application supports importing and exporting KML files and is fully compatible with AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWCAD. With this tool, you can seamlessly convert DWG entities - including points, polygons, curves, meshes, 3D solids, and raster images - to KML format, as well as transform KML data back into DWG entities.
GPS Exchange File
An open, XML-based standard designed for storing and sharing geospatial activity data across devices and platforms. Originally developed for GPS devices, it has become the universal language for outdoor navigation, fitness tracking, geocaching and adventure travel.
Key Features of GPX
- XML Format: The GPX format is based on XML, which is a standard and human-readable markup language. It can store GPS location data in a structured and consistent way. It can also be easily parsed and validated by various software applications.
- Data Storage: The GPX format can store three types of GPS location data:
- Waypoints - Points of interest with GPS coordinates, such as landmarks, destinations, or checkpoints.
- Routes - Sequences of waypoints that provide directions for a planned journey.
- Tracks - Records of your movement with a series of points that trace your path.
- Interoperability: Works with Garmin, Strava, AllTrails, Google Earth, and most GIS apps.
GPX Files Conversion
Automapki Application for AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWCAD enables direct import and export of GPX files within your DWG editing environment. You can precisely integrate GPS location data with your CAD designs and visualize them in their real-world geographical context. This add-on automatically handles coordinate system conversion and accurately projects GPS data onto georeferenced DWG drawings while maintaining spatial precision.
