# Transfer Mission Plan and KML Files

## Options for importing/exporting plans

* **Mission import/export:** AMC’s .plan files can be imported and exported. This is useful for creating missions on a computer, then importing all of them to Herelink at the same time
* **KML import:** KML files can be imported to AMC. This is useful for creating mission shape definitions in some software, then importing all of them to Herelink at the same time.&#x20;

  Important Note on importing:

  * Zoom in to maximum level, then create a random survey shape. If you don’t zoom in, survey shape could be very large and could crash AMC
  * Then click “import KML” on the right toolbar
  * Survey shape will automatically change to the data defined in the KML import
* **KML export:** This is useful for exporting waypoints outside AMC. You won’t be able to import them back as KML, since these are waypoints, and not a shape definition.
