Where 100 KB matters

Use this file for

  • Checking email size handling
  • Checking conversion between KML, GPX and GeoJSON
  • Verifying coordinate-order handling

Testing notes for KML

  • KML can pull in remote content through network links and icon URLs. An importer should not fetch them blindly. The samples here refer to nothing outside the file.
  • Longitude comes first. Reading the pair the other way round moves every point to a different part of the world.
