Thanks for your support gents! For now, I have managed to get by, both compiling, converting and displaying (though it broke a few cool nerves in the process). <br><br>I tried Google Earth, and this handles large .kml files - I guess the data transfer is the issue in using online apps, like Google Maps. The ideal of course would be to fund a GPL alternative...<br><br>Again, thanks!<br><br>Mattias<br><br>> From: even.rouault@mines-paris.org<br>> To: gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org<br>> Subject: Re: [gdal-dev] ogr2ogr .SHP to .KML conversion problem<br>> Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2010 19:28:00 +0100<br>> CC: gregcoats@mac.com; powerphysics@hotmail.com<br>> <br>> No, this was not packages of 1.7.0 but 1.7.0dev of several months ago.
