kml maker for Excel -> Google Earth

Wed, 02 Jul 2014 12:36:43 +0000

I made a userform that quickly and easily allows you to make a kml file that’s readable by google earth based on some excel dataset that has coordinates.

Features:

Simple and advanced modes
userform for convenience
Icons change when highlighted
Allows html to be passed to popup contents, everything is customizable
Issue a default icon, and change icons for specific points
Change colours and opacity for points via easy dropdowns
Pass data from excel columns to the popup for each point

I’ve taken the liberty to make an excel file with the form, and some examples and showcasing the features so you know how to do it. Check it out and please provide comments!
