Export data

To accommodate instances where you will want to export data from GeoResGlobe for use in other applications.

  • Places added via the drawing, coordinate or identify tools can be downloaded to SHP (Exports a compressed ZIP folder containing all shapefile and auxiliary files), KML, JSON or CSV.
  • Results returned using the identify tool can also be exported without having to add them as places first.
  • Results returned after performing a query (Query using this place or Query layer attributes) can be exported.
  • Offline places can be exported once added to an online map.
  • Georeferenced imagery can be downloaded, a compressed ZIP folder containing the image (JPG or PNG) and the associated world file is exported.
  • The count of features returned from performing a query or using the identify tool can be downloaded to CSV.

Download limits

The following conditions must be met when downloading to a SHP, KMP, JSON or CSV

  • Maximum feature count is 1000
  • The downloaded file must not exceed 10MB
