  2. Click Get Results / Next
  3. Download the results in KML format

3. Import into Ditch Assist

Save the kml file to your Android tablet. The easiest way is to email it to yourself, open the email on your tablet, then save the attachment to your Downloads folder

  1. In the Ditch Assist App, click on Manage Layers > Add > KML file
  2. Navigate to the location your saved the kml file and select it
  3. Tap your tablet’s Back Button to return to the map screen and view your drainage route guidance

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

If you use your tablet to access the map portal and download map layers directly onto your device, the kml files may not load (they’ll be greyed out). In this case, use a File Manager app to rename the downloaded file so that it ends in .kml rather than .xml (Android seems to add this to the fiel name on some devices). Then you should be able to load the layer into Ditch Assist
