About
<style>p.warn {text-align: center;color: red}</style><p>When importing KML/KMZ files into QGIS, the symbology of the features they contain is not preserved.</p><p>Icons, colors, thicknesses, opacities, etc., that may have been used during the creation of each of these features to visually communicate some important characteristic of it, end up not being used because the symbology is not preserved.</p><p>With this plugin, all features are grouped within the layers created in Avenza and, within each layer, into groups separated by geometry type (Point, Line, and Polygon) and, within each geometry group, they are categorized by the symbology of their style characteristics, visually facilitating geographic analysis.</p><p>Point features are imported using the same icons available in the <a href="https://store.avenza.com/">Avenza App</a> Maps</a>.</p><p>The trail-type features created in Avenza will be added to QGIS in two geometry groups: <b>Line</b> and <b>Point</b>. The point layer contains all the data for each point of that trail in its attribute table: <i>speed, when, angles, horizontal_accuracy,</i> etc. And it uses a "Target" as an icon.</p><p>Now the user will be able to view the images associated with the features.</p><p class="warn"><b>WARNING:</b> This plugin was developed specifically to import KML and KMZ files <mark>exported by Avenza</mark>. <ins>It probably won't work with other KML/KMZ files created by other applications!</p>
