I have a map of a specific area and I need to determine whether a given location -with lat-lon coordinates- falls into any grid that covers this map.
I decided to divide the map of the area I was given into 1 km x 1 km square grids using Google Earth -enabling the square grids using CTRL+L and zooming to the appropriate scale so that the grid lines are 1000 meters away from each other- and extract the entire data as KML, in order to get the latitude and longitude values for the corners of every single grid in my map and do a lookup from there -to see if the given lon/lat falls into any square grid and if it does, which grid etc.- but I don't know if this can be done -if Google earth allows me to extract its own square grid coordinates in KML format-.
Can someone provide any information about whether this is possible, and if possible how it can be done?
