4.5.4 Export Menu

The Export menu can be found at the upper-left of the Map tab.

The menu facilitates exporting map data to one of two formats. Clicking on
either of the commands will open a Save As dialog box to choose the location
of the exported file. Only the points currently visible on the map will be
exported. To export all points, select the Select All Dates checkbox in the
timeline.

KML

KML is the Google Earth file format. The .kml file contains both zone and
measurement information. Zones are displayed as colored circles;
measurements will be displayed as colored drawing pins. The color of the
circles and drawing pins will be the same as the colors shown in HydroSense II
Support Software.

GPX

This is a standard GIS format used by many mapping packages. Google Earth
supports GPX files, but the GPX format does not allow for drawing shapes, so
only measurement information is stored in the exported GPX file. Each
measurement is stored as a GPX waypoint with a timestamp. The VWC
measurement is stored in the waypoint description.
