As flagged above the simplicity of this probably belies the importance of this. Thanks for doing this, I spent hours on my mashup trying to the resolve the issue of how I could generalise polygons.

Thanks heaps, Andrew. You are saving me from a lost of misery and frustration. Indeed, the converter tools that are out there do not allow for generalisation and a 6MB kml file just isn't useful for map 'mashup' visualisation in a lot of instances. Thank You Thank You Thank You. (P.S.: Of course there is room for improvements, in that it would be nice if the simplified polygons would still be aligned, i.e. no gaps. But that's pushing it, I know!) :) This is sooooo useful!!

There are plenty of tools out there that can generate KML, but they usually cost too much and/or don't do polygon generalisation (polygon generalisation makes KML nice and fast for the web), so I hope people find it useful for their various web projects now and in the future. :) Although this isn’t the most visually appealing app in the competition, I’ve done extensive searching on the web for a tool like this, and nothing like this exists.
