Hello All,
 
I have a quad map of California that is in a Shapefile.  I converted this file into a KML file with ogr2ogr and displayed it in Google Earth.  The quads are filled with white which blocks out the layers below.  So after changing the style, I got a nice black grid and was able to view the other layers.  What I want to do now is have the quad names display at the center of the quad.  Reading the KML specs tells me that I have to add a POINT feature within the PLACEMARK tag.  Rather then manually editing thousands of PLACEMARKs, I am hoping that there is an easier way to do it.
 
Does anybody have any suggestions?  Maybe in the future there can be a creation option for the KML format that would solve this problem :)
 
Bob
