Windows KMZ to INST conversion

Post by butch4343 »

Hi am wondering if theres any Linux users out there, am looking for what I hope will be a quick favour? I need to create an overlay a railway overlay for use in a strategic scenario, however Ive hit a snag, the KMZ to Inst Tutorial is for Linux users.

tm.asp?m=3542302

Does someone know how to achieve the same thing via windows ?

Is there any kind hearted linux user out there who might be prepared to help me?

Hi, I've noticed that Google heart has no more DMS latitude export function, it gives out a numeric integer coordinates system (i suppose UTC) that Command cannot take in (if I'm not wrong) due to a change of policy in some legal implications and similar.
Someone know if there's any workaround?

We might have a copy of the source code on this. I'll take a look when I've got some time which may be a little while.

In the meantime does using an older google earth executable work?
