Useful tips

You can use Google Earth to produce sample data to work with. It allows you to create geo data in KLM format. With the Example UI you can start converting them into other formats and to play around with them.

After installation some sample data are set by default. If you changed them, don't forget to save your data before you click the "Run example" button. Otherwise they will be reset on page load. If you ever mess up and want the default values restored, click the restore button.
