Hi all,

I have several PNG-files along with separate georeferenced PGW-files. How can I somehow import those to FME desktop and convert to a format compatible with Google Earth?

 

What I want is to make this map an overlay in Google Earth. I also have the possibility of downloading the maps in in GML (.xml), ESRI shapefile, or Mapinfo MIF/MID. Whatever works best. I just want to import to Google Earth somehow.

 

 

I'm completely new to map modelling and FME so please give a really simple solution ^^

 

 

Thanks,

 

Ruben

Use a PNG-Reader and convert it to a KMZ-file using a KML-Writer. It's important that you name your output-file with a kmz-suffix eg. map.kmz.
