here's a description of how to convert a KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file to a Shapefile using Global Mapper:

1. *Launch Global Mapper:* Start by opening Global Mapper on your computer.

2. *Open the KML File:* Click on the "File" menu, and then select "Open Data File(s)." Browse your computer to locate the KML file you want to convert, and then click "Open."

3. *View and Edit KML Data (Optional):* Once the KML file is loaded, you can view and edit the data if needed. You can use various tools in Global Mapper to modify the attributes and styling of the KML features.

4. *Export to Shapefile:* To convert the KML file to a Shapefile, click on the "File" menu again, and this time, select "Export Vector Data." In the export dialog that appears:

Choose the "Vector (Multi-File)" option.
In the "Export Format" dropdown, select "Shapefile."
Browse to the location where you want to save the Shapefile and provide a name for it.
Click the "OK" button to initiate the export process.

5. *Configure Export Options:* Global Mapper will now display an export configuration dialog. Here, you can specify additional options for the Shapefile export, such as coordinate system, attribute field mapping, and feature type. Make sure to configure these settings according to your requirements.

6. *Start the Export:* Once you have configured the export options, click the "OK" or "Export" button to start the conversion process. Global Mapper will create the Shapefile based on the KML data and save it in the specified location.

7. *Review the Output:* After the conversion is complete, you can go to the location where you saved the Shapefile to verify that it was created successfully.

8. *Use the Shapefile:* You can now use the generated Shapefile in various GIS (Geographic Information System) software applications for further analysis, mapping, or data sharing.

That's it! You've successfully converted a KML file to a Shapefile using Global Mapper. Make sure to review the exported Shapefile to ensure that it meets your needs and retains all the necessary data from the original KML file.

This reminds me of my old days.
When I was a kid, I used to play soccer and play video games on weekends.
And I wanted the good days to last for eternity.
