KMZ/KML File Import

This guide walks you through importing a KMZ or KML file into a map layer in Operations Hub.

Operations Hub currently supports KMZ and KML files containing:

• Points

• Polygons

A single file may include both points and polygons.
Support for polylines will be added in a future update.

Before you begin:  Ensure your KMZ/KML file is properly formatted and contains only supported geometry types.

1. Log in to DroneSense and navigate to Operations Hub.

6. Click inside the box to select a file, or drag and drop a file into the square.
   
7. After the File Import Tool analyzes the file, it will provide you with a report of the contents. Click the Next button.
   
   If the file contains invalid points or polygons, an error message will appear.
   
8. Depending on the contents of the file, you will need to select a Point Symbol or Polygon Style.
   1. Select a Point Symbol.
      
   2. Select a Polygon Style (or create a new one).
      
9. The Review Import window will allow you an opportunity to make a change or finish the Import.
   
   Click Import to finish importing the file.

The data from the imported file will now be displayed on the map.
