[GIS] How to improve the precision of KML files on Google Maps

arcgis-desktopgooglekmlmaps

I am adding kml file to the google maps (api v3). Now the problem is that on google earth and google maps the accuracy of my kml decreases to kilometers. I am designing constituency boundaries and i need that to be accurate. Files are properly rectified, projected to WGS1984. In ArcGIS they give proper locations but when i plot their kml, it somehow is not that accurate. In addition, I am unable to go with point data in kml files. I mean they do not show the points neither go to its location.

For such conversion I often use the free and opensource tool ogr2ogr

An easy to use command line. A cheatsheet with must common command from Boston GIS

It would be something like: ogr2ogr "KML" output_filename.kml input_filename.shp

Maybe this conversion is more accurate. I hope it helps.
