| 🔸 Description | The shapefile format (SHP) is a geospatial vector data format for geographic information system (GIS) software. Esri developed and regulated it as a mostly open specification for data interoperability among Esri and other GIS software products. The shapefile format can spatially describe vector features: points, lines, and polygons, representing, for example, water wells, rivers, and lakes. In addition, each item usually has attributes that describe it, such as name or temperature. | KML files are often distributed in KMZ files, which are zipped KML files with a .kmz extension. The KML file specifies a set of features (placemarks, images, polygons, 3D models, textual descriptions, etc.) displayed on maps in geospatial software implementing the KML encoding. |
