Hi All,

How can I convert a kml or kmz (google earth) file to tab (mapinfo) or excel file?

Can anybody share this with me?

ogr2ogr can be used to go from kml to tab.

i use ogr2ogr to convert to shp (from mapbasic)

Something like?

ogr2ogr.exe -overwrite -f "MapInfo File" "test.kml"

FME will convert kml -> Tab.  You can download an evaluation copy -
 

The other option would be to convert to shapefile and then open this in MapInfo and save as a MapInfo Tabfile.  Search Google for 'kml to shapefile converter' and there's lots of links to free stuff that you can use.

I use DNRGarmin (freeware).
Unzip the kmz to kml. Open the kml, save as unprojected shapefile.
Open the shapefile in Mapinfo, choosing lat/long wgs84.

Thanks Ross

I’m pretty sure that the newer versions of MapInfo (not sure from what version) can open KML files through File > Open Universal Data. Once open in MapInfo you can save them as a native MapInfo tab file with ‘Save Copy As…’.
