This is a tool that will convert a directory full of .csv files into .kml files that will show as a timeline in Google Earth.
Microsoft .NET 4.0 client profile is required to use this tool. It can also run on Linux using Mono. It has been tested against version 2.10.
To build the tool, run build.bat if you are building on Windows or ./build.sh if you are building on Linux.
To use the tool, run it with the following syntax:
KmlTimelineBuilder c:\path\to\data
After the .kml files are built, just open them up in Google Earth and use the built in tools to view and edit the data. You can change the line color, names, and any other piece of information in Google Earth. If you do this, ensure that you move the .kml files out of the original path, because re-running the tool will overwrite the files.
