Hi
I know this might sound premature but I am about to release an application
that will allow you to import any type of spatail data into PostGIS, .kml,
.tab, gml, .gpx. I just fininshed a particular section on Friday and am
working on the connection and importing to PostGIS this week.
So please watch my blog http://sarelgis.blogspot.com/ under the open source
link for release. This would be my first release and am planning for more.
Regards
Sarel
