I know I can download shape files and esri files from the http://www.appalachiantrail.org/site/c.jkLXJ8MQKtH/b.851255/k.4226/Appalachian_Trail_GIS_and_GPS_Data.htm site, but I just want a simple AT marking in my Google Earth. I found a kml file for the AT, but it isn't too accurate, and I was wondering if someone here knows of a way to convert the official AT GIS data to a kml file (or even just a simple text file containing long lat points - I can do the rest).

so, anyone here picks the glove?

thanks anyway.

sorry - just found a better kml of someone who did just that. it is much more accurate than the one I used to have. hope some more people in here will enjoy it as well-

you can always use the shp2kml tool (google it). thats what i used to convert the AT trail and shelter shapefiles.
