How to Import KML Files in SW Map: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Here's the complete script for your tutorial:

Step 1: Access "My Files" on Your Mobile Device

Start by opening the "My Files" app on your mobile device. This is where you'll locate and manage the files needed for your project in SW Map.

Step 2: Locate and Transfer Your KML File

Next, navigate to the folder where your KML file is stored. After locating the KML file, copy it to the SW Map KML folder. To do this:

Go to the "Android" directory in your internal storage.
Select the "Media" folder.
Find the "KML" folder.
Paste the copied KML file into this folder.
Ensure that the file you’ve transferred is indeed the KML file for your project. Once done, exit the "My Files" app.

Step 3: Open SW Map and Create a New Project

Now, open the SW Map application on your device. Once it's open, proceed to create a new project. This project will serve as the workspace where you’ll import and work with your KML file.

Step 4: Add the KML File as a Layer

Go to the "Layers" section within SW Map.
Add your KML file to the project by selecting the option to import layers.
Name the layer appropriately to identify it easily.
Step 5: Set and Mark Project Location

Locate your project area on the map and zoom in to the relevant location.
Click on the pencil icon to enter the layer editing mode.
Assign a name to the layer for better organization.
Use the mark point icon to place a single point on the map near your project location. This will help you quickly find the project area with a single click in the future, simplifying navigation.
Step 6: Finalize and Enjoy the Tutorial

Congratulations! You've successfully set up your project and added the necessary layers. Enjoy using this tutorial and informative video to guide others through the SW Map process.
