You can't use lat/long as the output coordinate system, as that needs to use length units. I don't know off-hand if therion picks a suitable one for you - if not, you'll need to specify a suitable output coordinate system in your config file - e.g. 'cs utm' where is the UTM zone you are in.

Therion throws an error: "therion: warning -- data not georeferenced -- unable to export KML file" I think this is because I have not included latitude/longitude information. My question is ... How is latitude and longitude specified? Reading through the Therion book, it seems it is done in the "cs" statement within the centerline. However, the syntax is not clear. Are there any examples that show how it is done? Thanks - Bill Gee ___ Therion mailing list Therion at speleo.sk http://mailman.speleo.sk/mailman/listinfo/therion
[Therion] How to create KML files
Thanks Olly, Henry and Adam - This was enough information for me to get a KML file out of Therion. I sent it off to someone else to verify that it lands in about the right place. Google Earth has a Linux version, but it is badly supported and very buggy. Now that I know the secret incantation, I can change to UTM if needed. The cave in question is probably in zone 15. The border between zone 14 and 15 runs right down the middle of Missouri which causes us no end of difficulty. The readings for this cave were not done by me. And one point to verify ... Therion DOES require elevation. I tried it without and it complained.

[Therion] How to create KML files
Hello everyone - I am trying to create a KML file. Therion throws an error: "therion: warning -- data not georeferenced -- unable to export KML file" I think this is because I have not included latitude/longitude information. My question is ... How is latitude and longitude specified? Reading through the Therion book, it seems it is done in the "cs" statement within the centerline. However, the syntax is not clear. Are there any examples that show how it is done? Thanks - Bill Gee
