editing .kml files

[markbigears]

Hi top team, do any of you know how to edit a .kml file so instead of a red outline, i can change it to white, so i end up with red inside solid, white outline?



Happy new year!

Isn't .kml basically a variant of XML? If so, you could probably do it in a text editor. Seems on the face of it that LineStyle might be the way, but I haven't done this in any detail.

I did google and see text editor,
But looks like lines of script, that’s
Out of my comfort zone!

How big is the file? Could you post it here, for example, or is it too big for that?

Can you do that? I thought I could only post photos on here?

Open the kml file in a text editor and change which ever <color> tag you want to the colour of your choosing.

^^This

I used to edit kml files, and I did it inside Notepad.

Looking at it, it looks like the outer line is a "route" and it will be inside the file as a series of lat/long coordinates.

If you can't host the file somewhere, e-mail it to me, I can host it and post the link on here.

Thanks again .... I may be back! Mark
