Looks like you're about 0.04' off. Better set another one.

Thanks!!

I didn't know that it could do that. Just tried it, and it worked great - topo/contours right where they're supposed to be.

Yes please, what is the process/command? Did you do a lot survey with GPS to get it to do that? Or is that because of the geodetic system you are tied into in NC.

That looks really good, I have cobbled something similar to that together from my county GIS, but it was not that good.

Starting with Carlson 2013, the kmlwrite routine is found under File -- LandXML/RoadXML/Google Earth -- Export Google Earth File.
In versions 2009 through 2012, the functionality only supported polylines as part of the polywrite routine found under File -- Polyline File -- Write Polyline File command (via the Google option).
Versions 2008 and earlier did not have direct support for the production of Google Earth-friendly KML files.

The cost to upgrade will depend on a variety of factors. You could either call your local Carlson dealer or contact Carlson Software for pricing information.
