[Qgis-user] KML Load Error

[James Wood]

​Thanks for taking a look at this guys. I think you both confirm for me the
suspect source file is the issue. It's not a deal breaker, would just be a
nice layer to have for some analysis. There may also be another source
somewhere... haven't dug much on that end of the problem yet.

Thanks again,
James
