The shapefile format was introduced with ArcView GIS version 2 in the early 1990s. It is now possible to read and write geographical datasets using the shapefile format with a wide variety of software. The shapefile format stores the geometry as primitive geometric shapes like points, lines, and polygons.
National Transfer Format (NTF) – National Transfer Format (mostly used by the UK Ordnance Survey) Shapefile – open, hybrid vector data format using SHP, SHX and DBF files (by ESRI) Spatial Data File – high-performance geodatabase format, native to MapGuide (by Autodesk) TIGER – Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing
Keyhole Markup Language (KML) – XML based open standard (by OpenGIS) for GIS data exchange; MapInfo TAB format – MapInfo's vector data format using TAB, DAT, ID and MAP files; Measure Map Pro format – XML data format to store GIS data; National Transfer Format (NTF) – National Transfer Format (mostly used by the UK Ordnance Survey)
Google Maps will only show the last kml file on the page. If you add a business route, it must come before the mainline, otherwise Google Maps will only display the business route. By copying the <Placemark></Placemark> and everything in between, you can merge multiple segments into a single KML file.
KML became an international standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium in 2008. [1] [2] Google Earth was the first program able to view and graphically edit KML files, but KML support is now available in many GIS software applications, such as Marble, [3] QGIS, [4] and ArcGIS. [5]
The Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) is a computer software library for reading and writing raster and vector geospatial data formats (e.g. shapefile), and is released under the permissive X/MIT style free software license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.
It is a tool for visualizing and processing spatial data, characterized by its friendly user interface and access to multiple data formats, both vectorial (in a file, such as Shapefile, GML, KML, DWG and DXF, or a database, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Oracle) and raster (TIFF, ECW, MrSID, or other georeferenced image files, such as BMP, GIF ...
GeoTime can export data to other GIS software such as Google Earth and ESRI ArcGIS via KML format, and to other applications via CSV, as well as capture video of data animations. [5] An ArcGIS extension is available that allows GeoTime to work alongside the popular ArcGIS geographic information system with bi-directional data sharing between ...
