[GRASS-user] Produce KML/KMZ files in GRASS

Greetings

I would like to know if it’s possible to produce KML/KMZ files from a raster file in GRASS? If not, what tool do you advise?
Thanks
Monica

Hi Monica,
You can use r.out.kml [1] to export GRASS rasters
to kml.

Monica,
if you're using GRASS 6.4, you can also use "v.out.ogr" with "format=KML".
It works perfectly for google-earth.
All the best
Stefan

I think its worth pointing out is that according to the ogr docs,
gdal/ogr automatically re-projects the data in EPSG:4326. I'm not
sure though if this is correct for all cases (in the past I always
make sure that my data in GRASS is in EPSG:4326 before converting to
KML).

http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_kml.html
KML has been accepted as an OGC standard, and is supported in one way
or another on the major GeoBrowsers. Note that KML by specification
uses only a single projection, EPSG:4326. All OGR KML output will be
presented in EPSG:4326. As such OGR will create layers in the correct
coordinate system and transform any geometries.
