Mon, 26 Jun 2006 04:51:54 +0000 http://zhun.pair.com/spatiall/blog/?p=778#comment-1458 <p>[...] The GIS community has been quick to provide export tools to KML so they could use the ‘free’ GE as a publication media. For example, ESRI ArcGIS Extensions (Arc2Earth , KMLer, Shape2Earth, …) provide professional commercial products to convert layers, data frames, graphics and whole ArcGIS mxd project files into KML and vice-versa; NASA World Wind (‘the free GE for research geeks’) has extensions to do similar; and ESRI currently has its own Google Earth equivalent (ArcGIS Explorer - AGX) in late beta - AGX is officially scheduled for release along with ArcGIS 9.2 in Qtr4 2006 (though I expect a sooner release). Importantly, both the ArcGIS 9.2 and ArcGIS Explorer (AGX) specs say they will read/write KML directly, finally ending Google Earth’s (and recently, its sister Google Maps’) exclusive direct readability of KML and addressing the recent tightening of GE user licensing.

World Wind also supports KML loading, as does Google Maps.
