Google Earth KML Path Measurement Application

[donatoct]

I have created the following Windows Application to Calculate
distances on Paths Saved in KML format. I hope you find this tool
useful.

Cheers.

Overview
This application will measure paths in Google Earth, either saved in
KML Files, or copied from the clipboard. The application uses the
haversine formula to measure distances between points on a spherical
object. These distances are approximate, but some test calculations I
have made, show that they are in line with Google Earth's built in
measuring tool calculations. The application handles files or
clipboard KML containing multiple paths.

The application will also give you the option to automatically update
the path's description with the calculated distance. The path can
then
be imported back into Google Earth.

Features

Measures Google Earth Paths either saved as KML files or copied from
clipboard.
Option to automatically update path descriptions with calculated
distance
Results in-line with Google Earth internal measuring tool

System Requirements
Microsoft Windows™ (Tested on XP and Vista)
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0(Already installed on most Win Machines)
Google Earth™ (Plus account required to save paths)

Great software! You have to have each track named differently for it
to write the length into the descriptions.
