I downloaded some Wikimapia data using the wikimapia.api. Everything is A-OK since I’ve opened this in Google Earth and everything is in place. However, I need to turn it into a shapefile, or get the data onto QGIS, since there are impt polygons.
Using GDAL Complete for OS X from kyngchaos, I try to run the ogr2ogr command.
Ryans-MacBook-Air:~ Ryan$ ogr2ogr -f “ESRI Shapefile” mountains.shp api.wikimapia.org-4.kml
ERROR 4: Cannot open api.wikimapia.org-4.kml
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `api.wikimapia.org-4.kml’ with the following drivers.
etcetc. These are named mountains which I wish to import onto QGIS.
Please help!!
