Can Alteryx Designer input KMZ files?

[arundaka02]

Hi everyone, 

I have a KMZ file I've extracted from Google Maps of directions from London to Edinburgh. I want to input this into Alteryx Designer but I'm struggling to do so. 

When I use Input tool and configure file format to .csv, the results window suggests there are too many rows of data?:

Is there a way I can get around this?

Many thanks,

Kirk

Maybe this topic will help you.

Thanks @Emil_Kos 

I tried the same configuration in the input file but unfortunately the data in the KMZ file could not convert to plain text for me. 

Instead I used a GPS convertor online and now I have a nice clean table of latitude and longitude co ordinates that are representative of the journey. 

I now want to determine the distance that each co ordinate represents between point A to point B, so will explore the community for answers as my knowledge on spatial tools is weak!

Thanks,

KA
