TGR2KML 1.0.0

Bruce A. Ralston has developed TGR2KML, a software tool that converts U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic maps into Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files for use with Google Earth.

TGR2KML offers a user-friendly approach to viewing USGS topographic maps on Google Earth, allowing users to explore terrain in 3D and gain a better understanding of their surroundings. It can convert both historical and current USGS topographic maps, with optional hill shading and contours.

With TGR2KML, users can access over a century of USGS mapping data, which includes a wealth of information such as contour lines, water features, vegetation types, transportation routes, and landmarks. The software also provides the ability to download KML files for specific areas of interest along with high-resolution imagery of the area in question.

• TGR2KML is easy to use
• It supports both historical and current maps
• Users can access over a century's worth of USGS mapping data
• TGR2KML facilitates viewing topographic maps in 3D on Google Earth
• The software provides KML files for specific areas of interest
• High-resolution imagery is available for downloaded areas

The creation of TGR2KML by Bruce A. Ralston provides a valuable tool for anyone interested in exploring and studying terrain using USGS topographic maps with the added benefit of 3D visualization on Google Earth.
