Points: Extract X and Y point locations from Google Earth placemarks.

Lines: Extract line endpoint locations from Google Earth.

Polylines - Single (All Points): Extract vertex coordinates for a single polyline, and list them in the datasheet.

Polylines - Multiple (One File per Polyline): Extract vertex coordinates for multiple polylines in Google Earth, create a separate RwDat file for each, and list those file names in the datasheet.

Polygons - Single (All Points): Extract vertex coordinates for a single polygon, and list them in the datasheet.

Polygons - Multiple (4 Corners Only): Extract vertex coordinates for a multiple polygons in Google Earth, and list their corner points in the datasheet.

Polygons - Multiple (1 File per Polygon): Extract vertex coordinates for a multiple polygons in Google Earth, create a separate RwDat file for each, and list those file names in the datasheet.
