Re: [Qgis-user] Export Map Information to Google Maps

You might try the KML Tools plugin
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/kmltools/. For some data it is a little
more robust in its conversions than the default QGIS KML importer /
exporter and it will preserve KML styling when exporting as long as only
simple, graduated, or categorized symbology is used.

Hi,

Select the layer in the layer panel, right click, export, change the 
format to KML. You can select the symbology to export in the file.  If 
you need more control, use Processing/Gdal/Vector Conversion/Convert format.

[Qgis-user] Export Map Information to Google Maps

2021-07-20 Thread James Cobban
I run a genealogical web site one feature of which is displaying a 
Google Map on request for a geographical location.  For example 
https://www.jamescobban.net/FamilyTree/Person.php?idir=42118 
. Hold the 
mouse over any of the addresses and a popup gives you the option to view 
a Google Map.  I obtained the boundary information from the Ontario 
Ministry of Mines and Resources database  
in the form of a KML file.  I am now trying to add the county and 
district boundaries but there appears to be a bug in the website which 
fails creating the KML file.  The Ministry is in the process of 
addressing this problem, but meanwhile I tried downloading the 
Geodatabase and opening it with QGIS.  This works, and displays the 
overview map of the database, but I cannot see any option to export the 
information as a set of polygons that I can pass to Google Maps.  How do 
I export to KML or any other file format that I already understand.
