# Transfer Mission Plan and KML Files with Herelink

## 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. 

  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.
