MMQGIS export shapefile to KML not working, error message: 'Unknown geometry type 0'. But Point data being used?
Geographic Information Systems Asked by GDP on July 3, 2021
I’m trying to convert a shapefile (created from a CSV) to a KML using the MMQGIS Plugin (as I want to show styling by attributes on Google Earth.) However, when clicking ‘apply’ it says ‘Unknown Geometry type 0. Use convert geometry tool to change to point, line or polygon’.
The data I am using is Point data, so confused this is an error for the data?

Looks like you're using a Coordinate Reference System (CRS / projection) of EPSG:27700. When working with or converting to KML, you should always use the basic, EPSG:4326. That's the only projection supported by Not sure if that's what's causing this error, but certainly something to check.
