.kml file to layer

SLouq — Wed, 02 Mar 2022 20:43:45 GMT

I was given a .kml file and asked if I could provide the coordinates for each point in it.

How can I do this in ArcGIS Pro?

When I try the KML to Layer tool it tells me empty dataset

Would it be possible to share a sample KML file (causing the issue) for us to test?

it's not letting me attach the .kml file. Says file type not supported

Check if you have access to the KMZ (zipped KML) file.

In case you don't, you could convert the KML to KMZ using KML to KMZ Converter Online - MyGeodata Cloud

Use the resulting KMZ file in KML to Layer tool.

It should give you the desired output.
