Hello before I was able to open geojson (download from kobotoolbox) into Google earth pro
here the step :

  • download at gesojson format into kobotoolbox
  • copy / past the data into sublime text
  • save as geojson
  • open into google earth pro (file >open)

and now I get this error from google earth pro xxx.geojson is not a valid GeoJSON file.

do you have any idea why?

Hi @dsamba and welcome to the community!

May I ask why do you need to do steps 2 and 3, converting it to text and reconverting to geojson again?

because after downloading the file from kobo I get a page that opens with the json content but not a file that downloads. So I copy and paste what I have on screen into sublimetext.

I used :https://geojson-validator.streamlit.app/
and here the message error :

You could try to use an automatic tool to convert the data from kobo toolbox into GeoJSON for example mapshaper.org
