Is there a way to export the KML layer of pushpins from the Geography view? I created a filter to list just the Cemetery (a custom place type) places enclosed by a county. Unfortunately, the map service hides the county outline when I zoom in. And it fails to show any township (county subdivision…

I suppose an alternative would be to use something like MapTiler (or maybe there’s a similar open source tool) to make tiles? I’d dearly love to use period maps of my home county instead of a modern map. The hand colored outlines of the townships looks much less antiseptic than the KML generated ou…

The kml files are all somewhere in your Gramps media directory, so there is no need to “export” them. Rather, within your OS you can find the desired ones (depending on how you’ve named them) and copy them elsewhere.

The georeferenced maps in the David Rumsey collection can be downloaded and used in applications. Choose any map, and then you will see these choices: Use in GIS apps ArcGIS , QGIS or web apps can simply use this map with web map services. WMTS , TileJSON or XYZ tiles are provided for quick…

Ummm. I found the KML outline I imported using “add place from KML”. (Which apparently did nothing as it was a polygon instead of a point.) I found the most current set of cached map tiles. I also had a few KML files created years ago with another application in with some other media test files. …

Just information … Maybe someone can add it to the wiki or something … If you or anybody else should need Historical Maps over Norway, you can find them here: https://kartverket.no/en/Maps--Nautical-Charts/Historiske-kart/ (Not geo referenced) Sadly the information is only in Norwegian on this …

Benny posted a blog entry in 2008 about having written a KML export. But that feature was how you did mapping before Serge’s GeoView was integrated into Gramps. Was the KML export code retired?

Oops, I’m sorry, @emyoulation , I realized as soon as I replied that I had misunderstood you. (Of course you would not be asking how to export kml files that you yourself had already imported!) I agree it would be nice if there were a Tool or Utility in Gramps to export selected places as a kml file.…

There is a Geographic Report that’s been in the alpha stage for more than a dozen years. It is restricted to a report plotting the Events of the active person. It seems like it has to do a lot of analysis & consolidation that the various modes of the Geography view has already completed. Maybe it c…

We also have a previous Discourse thread about how to overlay a KML map object. But it never reached the level of clarity needed to improve the manual. It needs sample KML files such that a user can exactly practice the exercises in the wiki. Without those, reproducing the workflow cannot be tested…
