Hello,

I am trying to map excel data to google earth kml file. i did this online with http://www.earthpoint.us/ExcelToKml.aspx
and it works very good! i was using the bellow headers:

Latitude
Longitude
Name Description
Icon
Snippet
IconScale
IconAltitude
IconLineColor
HideNameUntilMouseOver

but they have limitations of row counts. and i found http://processtrends.com/Files/MapExcelData.zip

which they have an excel sheet that works fine but dont give the nice output file as earthpoint does.

i hope some one can help me edit the file from processtrends.com to make it create kml files such as earthpoint.

Sample kml files:

Earthpoint:
