<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">QGIS newbie here. I want to use USGS LiDAR to search for abandoned railroad grades as a layer in Google Earth.</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am able to download the 1 meter tif from USGS and I am able to add it as a layer in QGIS. I cannot, however, figure out how export the layer as a kml/kmz file.</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I right-click on the layer and choose “Export” and then “Save As” followed by dropping the “Format” menu down. Heaps and heaps of options to choose from but none for kml/kmz.</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help in what I am missing or doing wrong would be appreciated.</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
