The above C# program is recommended in the Google help files for simplifying KML files,and there is an executable for Windows. I am still trying to find a solution that runs on Linux. The closest I have found is the R shapefiles library, but there is a learning code to write the program.
Anyway, with this .exe program, using arguments of 1,5,10, .. kilometers (my shape file covers 1/2 the globe), I am getting good results only with 1-5 kilometers. Why is that? 1,581,853 doc.kml 619,732 doc1.kml <-- run with argument 1 kilometer 529,805 doc5.kml <- run with argument 5 kilometer 518,343 doc10.kml 514,266 doc20.kml 511,894 doc40.kml 510,779 doc100.kml 510,394 doc200.kml 510,326 doc400.kml 510,143 doc4000.kml 510,143 doc40000.kml tom --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
