Import a .kml / .kmz file?

Re: Propose a NEW LAYER / FEATURE You'd like on Windy

Hi Windy,

Love your App! Is there any way you could write a script that allows a user to import a shapefile? (.kml/.kmz)

Cheers,
Simon

Hey guys (@Simon-Tunney @camaer @wxgeek @meteoman ). Yes, we are working on it. But it will take us some time (probably a few weeks). Thank you for your patience.

Cool.

While @marekd is working on it, maybe you can use this:

windy.com/plugins
windy-plugin-kmz

(Quick plugin, only works partially and only for some kmzs).

awesome that I can import KML to view on the website! how do I turn on my KML layer for the App?

@Simon-Tunney did something happen with this plug-in? I don't see it on the plug-in website list of plugins and oddly on windy.com app on a totally different tablet which I installed maybe a few months ago it has the option to import KML.

@ccrepon88

my plugin still exists:

Plugins: Load plugin directlly from npm then type windy-plugin-kmz.

However, my plugin was quick and dirty,
rather use windy.com/uploader
