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.
I guess I am not the only one to receive: 403 Forbidden ?
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?
