[GRASS-user] v.out.ogr kml error

[henry83]

Thank you guys you have been quite helpful, there are a few things I would
like to comment. First of all the first time I used v.out.ogr to export the
generated contours to kml I did it over contours build up over an
overgeoreferenced raster, what I mean is that I had a georeference bigger
than the raster I was working on, so after filling nulls all around the
raster I've got some weird contours on the edges of the raster, that's way I
think v.out.ogr didn't work. 
After that I worked with a raster that fitted with the georeference and I
could easily perform the v.out.ogr to kml export. But then I founds some
contours were twisted lines that made me dizzy. 
I tried the v.generalize to simplify the vector and the problem was that I
had been working on a big extend of a province of my country, so some
regions of it have mountains and others are very flat. Thus, generalization
didn't work as I would have liked.
After that I decided to work over a small extend and luckily I have gotten
magnificents results without needing to run v.generalize, of course
v.out.ogr to kml export worked properly.
