[GIS] Converting KML to CSV or SHP using ArcMap

arcgis-desktoparcmapcsvkml

I'm using ArcMap 10. Is there a way to convert a .kml file into a .csv to check the attributes or a .shp to import it straight into ArcMap?

I've tried downloading various programmes to convert it but they either don't work properly or my university won't let me download them.

Here is the .kml file in question.

Best Answer

Use the KML To Layer tool which you can find and open via the Search window or in ArcToolbox under the Conversion Tools.

Converts a KML or KMZ file into feature classes and a layer file. The layer file maintains the symbology found within the original KML or KMZ file.

You can go from the feature class or layer (created by that tool) to a shapefile using Copy Features (or Export Data in the Table of Contents).
