Hi Hanlie,<br>
<br>
There are lots of online converters and free software that can convert KML to SHP. Haven't really tried them but I hear that they work. Try them out and see what happens.<br>

<br>
You can try this link. If it does not work, just look for other converters<br>
<br>

Subject: [OSGeo Africa] KMZ/KML files in QGIS<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
Was just wondering if anyone else has come across this and found a solution.<br>
<br>
A client sent me a KMZ file with his data. QGIS can't read KMZ, so I<br>
'unzipped' the KMZ file and a doc.kml popped out.<br>
<br>
When I add that to QGIS, I get a list of layers that I can choose to<br>
add - the list is the same as the one I see when I open the KMZ file<br>
in Google Earth.<br>
<br>
But some of the layers don't display and have no attributes. I can see<br>
the points in Google Earth and they have attributes there, but the<br>
layer is empty in in QGIS. When I zoom to the layer, it's in the<br>
correct spot, no features display.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Hanlie.<br>
