I am trying to download a kml file from Wikimapia containing information on quaters (districts), the very same information that is nicely available on Wikimapia. What I want to get at the end of the day is a shapefile containing as many polygons as there are districts in Milan to use in my GIS.
This is my URL for the query I pasted in my web browser.
http://api.wikimapia.org/?function=box&key=[mykey]&lon_min=8.936&lat_min=45.282&lon_max=9.421&lat_max=45.652&format=kml&category=quarters
From this I get a tiny kml.part file, that I then rename .kml. The file doesn't open in Google Earth or QGIS. If I open it with a text editor I can just few lines of xml, but no information concerning my geometries...
Am I doing something logically wrong?
