<div>Hi Tom</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for your replay, I used ogr2ogr from FWTools, and found a -f "KML" option to get KML file.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, there is a free Rss2Kml script here <a href="http://www.kovacevic.nl/hacks/kml/rss2kml.php">http://www.kovacevic.nl/hacks/kml/rss2kml.php</a></div>
<div>It depends on XSLT to transform from GeoRss to KML , perhaps I can do the reverse.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The only obstacle for me now is the projection and co-ordinate systems, I know nothing in this stuff.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Using qGIS, I examined the projection of my shape files, they are :<br>+proj=utm +zone=36 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I don't understand this, but GeoRSS should be {The coordinate reference is assumed to be WGS84} quoted from <a href="http://xtech06.usefulinc.com/schedule/paper/56">http://xtech06.usefulinc.com/schedule/paper/56</a>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any advice is highly apprecited</div>
