Places Export

You can export place information to a Keyhole Markup Language (*.kml) file which is viewable in all modern mapping software. One limitation is that only a place name string is exported, not full coordinates. Any viewer software must know to do a search for a place because Family.Show cannot export coordinates. Google Earth is one such viewer. The exported file uses male/female iconography and separates the place information by births, marriages, deaths, cremations and burials. It can produce informative representations of family migration and movements as shown in Figure 1 when you choose the option to export time information.
