KML to CSV converter

As a new kid on the block, I created my first two csv files by tediously hand typing coordinates, descriptions, info, etc in each spreadsheet cell. THEN, I read the FAQ on how to use Google Earth. shock (Is there a forehead-slapper Smiley anywhere? There oughta be.)

In all that thrashing around, and for what it's worth, I found a KML to CSV converter that doesn't seem to have been mentioned anywhere on the boards.

Available for Win, Mac and Linux and it is open source, i.e. free. It's configurable for such things as linebreaks, including taking into consideration the 350/360 series' quirks.

It also allows you to set it so that it monitors a specific folder for new KML files that you create after long./lat. locating expeditions to Google Earth.

It can be downloaded at: http://kmlcsv.pbwiki.com/

Thanks

Thanks for the heads up on this. Also, it's open source ... something of a pet project of mine to use as much open source as possible.
