How to convert Dwg to KML and upload to Google Maps! (MyGeoData)

[@valiantcolumnar1992]

hi hello sir my drawing not in right position, :( please can you helped me please look for my files can i sent it to you?

[@bisayaarchnemesis6092]

Hi I'm from Philippines. I'm trying to locate a property but I'm ending up in the middle of the ocean or other countries. Plus my autocad layout covers a whole country when it's just a tiny land. Please help!

[@CivilTechSource]

Hi Bisaya, so your drawing in cad needs to be drawn in metre and also be located in the right x,y coordinates for it to work. To check the coordinates just search online the Philippines coordinates system.

[@ReylakCabarang]

Thanks! so straight to the point!

[@CivilTechSource]

Thank you!!

[@ignaciovilellamartin4749]

Hello sir, good video. How can I do to merge X,Y coordinates in my CAD with Google Earth coords? Thanks!

[@CivilTechSource]

What do you mean merge? Do you mean draw in the correct coordinates?

[@michaelsilas5387]

When you convert does it change coordinate system because my drawing on UTM while google use latitude and longitude

[@tandan2424]

You are a genius. Thank you.

[@CivilTechSource]

Glad it helped! 😬

Brother Hi, We are from INDIA, Your video is very good, but it would be much better if you also say how to find our true coordinate system refernce point. for your case it might be easy but for many who are using the method you conveyed, the map is showing some where else way beyond the true point. It would be much better if you could eloborate right from autocad, how do you set the map as per the CSR in autocad, then identify correct csr for geo data and then applying correctly in my gedata website. I wish this will be of great help and favour. Many of us don't know how to setup a map in autocad as per the google coordiantes. so kind request to understand the situation and eloborate it in little more detail.

Hi, try the below website. It helps you convert lat & long (which are universal) to XY coordinates based on the EPSG you are working to. epsg.io/transform#s_srs=4326&t_srs=3857&x=NaN&y=NaN

Thank you broo

Hi I am following your tutorial. Thnak you for it. But I have a problem it do not put my line in the right location. It appear in the middle of the ocean lol

[@CivilTechSource]

There are multiple things you need to look out for, is your drawings units unit unitless and the your elements are drawn in meters, is your drawing in the right coordinates to start with? If still struggling send me an email [e-mail]

[@mose8582]

@@CivilTechSource I didn't make the drawing I received it. The unit is meters and the drawing is in the right coordinates I presume when I imported in Revit it's ok. I will send you in your email right now. If you have time to check thanks.

[@CivilTechSource]

@@mose8582 Try changing the units in AutoCAD from meters to unitless.

[@mose8582]

@@CivilTechSource Thank you for your Help. I received the file sent by email.

[@aralydeleongarcia7700]

Hi ! Do you have a video on how to draw in the correct coordinates ?

[@CivilTechSource]

Hi Araly, not at the moment. But will add it to the list (this should be a fairly quick one)

[@aralydeleongarcia7700]

@@CivilTechSource Thanks, actually i got it, but im afraid i might be doing something wrong cause i keep getting my file in the middle of the ocean:(

[@CivilTechSource]

In that case, here are few things to look out for: 1) Check your drawing units 2)Make sure there is nothing in your paperspace 3) Check for hidden layers that might have items outside the reasonable coordinates. Hope this helps

[@MHDCONSULTANT]

@@aralydeleongarcia7700 hi, some times it get file some where, not on the exact location where file is tobe. so you try to check your time zone i mean utm of your country / location. just check it on the net.

[@geoffreyleung9551]

nice video, it is also useful for making presentation materials. Thanks!

[@CivilTechSource]

Yes it is! You can even compile all the projects you have worked on and show the map as a CV maybe?

[@TrektoTomorrow]

Thanks man, very easy and fast

[@CivilTechSource]

Glad it helped!

[@Cinematiccollage897]

Hello sir when i convert my dwg fil to KML and Open it in My Google Maps it's give me different locations actually it was in the sea

[@CivilTechSource]

Probably your your drawing in Dwg the X & Y coordinates did not align with the X & Y coordinates of the GIS system you used.

[@johnabram4159]

Amazing! But, how can i encode geo data in the Autocad drawing to start with. I think map shaper will not guess it, right?

[@CivilTechSource]

Hi John, what do you mean you want to encode geo data? Do you mean to export gis files from AutoCAD?

[@johnabram4159]

@@CivilTechSource I have a outline layout of a shopping mall - each building and rental unit is polylined individually. I don't have AutoCAD Civil 3D just the vanilla version. I want to be able to do the same you showed in your video - see each rental unit/ line shop with its own boundary and have a jason file so I could upload it to shape maps in Power BI. I am just a occasional user of AutoCAD not avid.

Hey mate! Thanks for video! I have a problem, after doing everything like show in video I get my dwg convert in Iran instead in Croatia. I choice right coordinate system also but still get problem in transformation.

[@CivilTechSource]

Hi my first guess would be that your dwg is not in the right coordinates (X & Y).

[@GoranKunstek]

@@CivilTechSource wrong guess hehe, we are using htrs what I mention previously that I choice right coordinate system. Thx for answer !

[@spranggatsnonoy1166]

Hi is there any difference between kml and kmz?

[@CivilTechSource]

Yes, KML is XML based file that contains the geometrical information where KMZ is a compressed KML or multiple KML. Hope this helps!

What?

[@kinjaldamani9797]

hi, this is such a useful learning, and you explained it so well. thank you so much.

[@CivilTechSource]

Glad you found it useful! in case the MyGeoData website is not working anymore, I created another youtube video showing how to import in QGIS.

[@ArchanaMathew-z1e]

Thanks

[@CivilTechSource]

No problem

[@danethegeographer]

Google maps < My Maps

[@CivilTechSource]

100% agree when I have to knock out something quick. Otherwise I use the Google earth Web as it has presentation features.

[@The_Cuacas]

mygeodatacloud is not free!

[@CivilTechSource]

Watch the QGIS video it's free.

[@MHDCONSULTANT]

you r a genius guy, but some time will have to select accurate time zone by your self. once a again its escape me from global mapper

[@CivilTechSource]

Hmm, I did not know that the time zone can affect the coordinates.

[@Gracyan-qp1vb]

Not free trash site.

[@CivilTechSource]

The tutorial has been out a while ago so maybe the website has changed. But you can do it for free in qgis

[@SUSHANTCHODANKAR-o5c]

u have not shown how to do dwg in utm coordinate of google earth,shortcut ur showing

[@CivilTechSource]

Exporting from QGIS to KML will automatically save the coordinate system used inside qgis and google earth will read that.
