directions

1. Copy your tab delimited (txt/tsv) values into the input feild. Do NOT include commas or tabs within values as these will be interpreted as value delineations.
2. Markers must include lat and lng attributes. Lines without valid lat and lng will be omitted from kml. Markers may also include any of the following attributes: name, desc, and color.
3. Headings are essential! The first line in the 'input' field is used to organize data. Include any attributes used in the txt in the heading line. Any order of headings and data may be used, but the order of headings MUST match the order of txt data. Do NOT include headings for attributes not present in your txt unless present to delineate absent values. Any heading entries consistent with the examples below are acceptable.

   name	desc	color	lat	lng
   name	lat	lng
   name	lat	lng	color
   lat	lng
   lng	name	lat	color	desc

4. Use the 'file name', and 'file desc' feilds to set the values for the kml file as a whole. If name or desc are not present in your txt, these file values will also be used for markers. If individual colors are not present in your txt, use the 'file color' to set the color for markers. The example below summarizes data input using all headers.

   name	desc	color	lat	lng
   Point 1	This is point 1	blue	34.077	-80.961
   Point 2	This is point 2	blue	34.081	-80.967
   Point 3	This point is red	red	34.089	-80.957
   Point 4	File color		34.088	-80.956
   No desc		white	34.087	-80.955
   	File name	green	34.086	-80.954

5. Click the 'make' button. The 'log' feild will note any errors or omissions.
6. Once the 'kml complete' message is displayed, click the 'copy to clipboard' button. Then, paste the kml into a fresh notepad, txt, or code editor. Finally, save your file with the extension kml. Example: mykmlfile.kml
