This guide is for publishers who would like to display a map file on SmartDublin. They already have a CSV file that includes latitude and longitude values.

• How to upload KML files to the Geoserver and Datastore so that they can be published as maps
• How to copy styling from a similar dataset
• How to fix simple error (zero error) encountered when uploading

Currently (July 2021), SmartDublin requires a KML file to publish as a map (not currently a Shapefile).

1. To generate a KML from an Excel or CSV file use one of the online converters, eg. CSV To KML Converter
2. You will be asked to identify any name/description field(s) and the latitude/longitude columns by column number.
3. Convert the file then download the resulting KML file and upload it to the dataset on SmartDublin where you have published the CSV file
