lol Awesome! Can you imagine ESRI creating a utility this way? Thanks for doing this.

Re: [GRASS-user] Export Raster to Google Earth Files
The easiest way to do this for 1 or 2 reasonably sized rasters is to simply write a very short KML file that points to the image name and defines its geographic extents. If you have to do it for hundreds of files, then scripting it is much faster. I can send you a short Perl script that uses gdalinfo to determine the extents. Here is what the KML should look like: GroundOverlay descriptionSomething pithy/description nameSomething else pithy/name visibility1/visibility open1/open Icon hrefname_of_image_file/href /Icon drawOrder0/drawOrder LatLonBox north DD./north south DD./south west DD./west east DD./east /LatLonBox /GroundOverlay Roger -- On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 11:14 AM, Andrew Lewin andrew.le...@sympatico.ca wrote: Hi Everyone, I would like to export raster files to a Google Earth image (kmz or kml).
