KML

The KML module allows for views export of location-specific data in KML format.

KML Format

Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth and Google Maps. See the KML Documentation Introduction.

Usage (D8 & D9)

1. Add a REST export display to your View
2. Under Format: Serializer | Settings, tick KML or KMZ (or both).
3. Under KML settings enter the desired KML document header.
4. Add a Path to your display.
5. Configure Show: Fields | Settings, choosing which fields to use for name and coordinates (and optional description, styleURL, icon, and gx_media_links).
   • Coordinates works well with the Geolocation Field module, setting its Geolocation tokenized text formatter to: [geolocation_current_item:lng],[geolocation_current_item:lat].

See the README.txt for more.

1. Add a Feed display to a View that handles nodes (or other data) that include locative infomation.
2. Add fields for the Name, Description, Latitude and Longitude for each point.
3. Set the display's Style to KML Feed.
4. Configure the KML Feed's Style Options, choosing the appropriate fields and optionally choosing a Filename for the downloadble file.
5. Optionally attach the feed display to another display.
