Geographic Information Systems Asked by Hugo Koopmans on January 15, 2021
I have multiple MIF files which I would like to translate to KML format.
ogr2ogr -f "KML" geo-mif geo-kml
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `geo-kml’ with the following drivers.
It seems that ogr2ogr has issues writing KML.
Do I need to install something additional?
Other formats like Mapinfo file works like a charm e.g.: ogr2ogr -f "Mapinfo file" geo-kml geo-mif works perfectly
You have your input and output datasets in the wrong order. The (rather unintuitive) ogr2ogr syntax is:
ogr2ogr [options] dst_datasource_name src_datasource_name [layers]
Use the following instead:
ogr2ogr -f "KML" geo-kml geo-mif

Installing Expat won't be enough - you need to rebuild OGR with expat support.
From http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_kml.html:
KML reading is only available if GDAL/OGR is built with the Expat XML Parser, otherwise only KML writing will be supported.
