Thank you very much.<br>> <br>> Josua,<br>> <br>> When converting OSM files with ogr2ogr, the features are read in an interleaved <br>> way. For example, you can get X features from layer lines, then Y features <br>> from layer multipolygons, then Z features from layer lines again, etc...<br>> <br>> The writing part of the KML driver doesn't support that back-and-forth between <br>> layers, hence this error.<br>> <br>> A workaround is to convert to an intermediary format such as shapefile, <br>> PostGIS, sqlite/spatialite, gml, etc... that support writing features in <br>> layers in an interleaved way. Then you can convert to KML.<br>> <br>> Best regards,<br>> <br>> Even<br>> <br>> -- <br>> Geospatial professional services<br>> http://even.rouault.free.fr/services.html<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>Hello Even</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much for your help, now it works!
