Additional enhancements and modifications have added new and improved file import functionality with increased speed. Users now have the ability to import KML, KMZ and most types of DWG files easily into GeoUnderground. KML stands for Keyhole Markup Language and is an XML file used to display geographic data in a mapping browser. KMZ stands for Keyhole Markup Language Zipped and is a compressed version of KML. In our prior releases, only certain DWG files could be imported into GeoUnderground. Our Release Version 2.2 has added the ability to import DWG files that were created with AutoCAD and contain spatial reference information.
Andrew Merski, Geospatial’s CTO stated, “We’re very proud of the product our development team has achieved with GeoUnderground. The versatility and ease of use bring enterprise GIS capabilities and a revolutionary Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) low monthly subscription model to your tablet or phone.”
