OK thanks for helpful replies from Peter and Michael.

I've taken a good look and compared printouts of a KML file exported from Atlogis vs one that works and is accepted for import into MapRun's CheckSites.

Since Atlogis stores their data points in one long LineString, I've concluded that it would take a lot of editing to massage these into the form required by MapRun. I'm not a programmer, but the layout of the MapRun Placemarks seems pretty intuitive, with the name and co-ordinates of every point spelled out in sequence. Atlogis, not so much - mebbe it's proprietary?

To prepare the file, I first re-named the first and last points from S and E to S1 an F1 as required for MapRun's input but I don't even see where the point names are stored in Atlogis!

This manhandling of the data points might be worth it for someone with an important one-off event, but I can't see myself doing this every time I want to create a new event. Not a production system. Case closed for now.

Thanks again!
