Good day Everyone,
I would like to know if there is an easy away to get the spatial data from the Google server in a GIS format?
At the moment the co-ordinates for path or polygon are stored in a single cell, making it impossible to just import it to a GIS program without separating it into columns.
Regards

Buen dia. si lo que quieres es usar un programa de mapas como qgis o arcgis puedes a tu hoja de excel darle un formato para trabajarlo alli. https://desktop.arcgis.com/es/arcmap/10.3/manage-data/tables/formatting-a-table-in-microsoft-excel-for-use-in-arcgis.htm lee esto para mas referencia.
pero para mas info sobre las preguntas y como creas los poligonos mira: https://xlsform.org/en/#gps
Hi @mrossouw, when you get a chance, please take some timle to Introduce yourself here!
As @Joaquin_Linares said (as far as I understand 
) you can easily map point from to coordinates columns with a GIS software, but for linestring or polygon it it not so easy.
You should take a look at those case studies about generating kml, geojson or wkt within your form :
aplica si uso odk en hojas de googlesheets?
Yes it only use xforms calculations.
But you can try the examples forms given in the case studies.
Esta increíble, muchas gracias.
Hi @mathieubossaert. Thanks for the information. I will have a look at them.
Just an update for other people that have the same issue. In QGIS there is an plugin with the name ODKtrace2WKT. It will extract all the shape co-ordinates from the csv file and plot it in QGIS.
Hope it helps
