Скачать или смотреть Layer to KML

The "Layer to KML" tool in ArcGIS serves the purpose of converting GIS data layers into Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files. KML is an XML-based file format used for displaying geographic data in applications such as Google Earth and Google Maps. By using the "Layer to KML" tool in ArcGIS, users can export their GIS data, including points, lines, polygons, and related attributes, into a KML format that can be easily shared and viewed in various geospatial applications.

The main purposes of using the "Layer to KML" tool in ArcGIS include:

Data Sharing: KML files are widely supported in many geospatial applications and online mapping platforms. By converting GIS data layers into KML, users can share their geographic information with others who might not have access to ArcGIS or other specialized GIS software.

Visualization: KML files can be opened in applications like Google Earth, allowing users to visualize GIS data in a 3D environment. This visualization capability enhances the understanding of geographic data by providing a more immersive and interactive experience.

Communication: KML files can be easily shared via email or web links, making them a convenient format for communicating geographic information to stakeholders, clients, or the general public. This facilitates collaboration and decision-making processes.

Integration: KML files can be integrated with other web services and applications, enabling users to create interactive maps and visualizations on websites or mobile devices. This integration enhances the accessibility and usability of GIS data for various purposes.

In summary, the "Layer to KML" tool in ArcGIS allows users to export their GIS data into a widely supported and easily shareable format, enabling effective data sharing, visualization, communication, and integration with other applications and services.
