I’ve posted before about Digipoint (version 1 and version 2), a web app that lets you select points in a Google Maps interface, then export their coordinates in a variety of formats. Version 3 of Digipoint is now out, with some modest improvements:
- A new interface, a bit easier to use, and which works better in browsers where the default font size has been modified
- Fly-to: Specify an address, country, or location, and the map will automatically go there. There are also a limited number of pre-specified country/region links, where clicking on the link takes you to the area automatically
- In previous versions, you had to copy/paste text for a particular export format like CSV or KML; you can now download the file automatically
- For exported shapefiles, a corresponding prj file is also created to specify the coordinate system (your choice of geographic or UTM; WGS84)
- Help section added
Still supports the same export formats as before: CSV, TXT, TAB, BLN (Surfer), GPX, KML, DXF and shapefile. Versions one and two are still available if you want them, but there’s no good reason to use them anymore.

Just tried the new Digipoint site, and it worked fine for me.
Thanks Leszek.
Site loads fine. But I cannot open any type of files (GPX, KML ,SHP) that I download form Digipoint.
What did I miss?
