Type '''Pune''' in the '''search box'''.

|-
|| 06:09
||Select '''Pune Maharashtra''' from the search options.

Click on the '''Search''' button.

|-
|| 06:17
|| '''Google Earth''' will zoom the map to locate '''Pune''' city.

|-
|| 06:22
|| The location of '''Pune''' is seen on the map.

We will add a '''Placemark''' for '''Pune'''.

|-
|| 06:31
|| Click on '''Add placemark''' in the toolbar.

|-
|| 06:35
||Follow the same steps we did earlier to '''placemark Mumbai''' .

|-
|| 06:43

|-
|| 08:55
|| Let us name the file as

'''Places in Maharashtra'''.

|-
|| 09:00
|| Select a suitable location to save the file.

I will choose '''Desktop.'''

|-
|| 09:07
|| You can save this file in two different file formats.

|-
|| 09:12
||In the “'''Files of type'''” dropdown you will see '''Kml''' and '''Kmz''' options.

|-
|| 09:20
||'''Kmz''' is the compressed version of the '''Kml''' file.

|-
|| 09:25
||'''Kmz '''file format is often used to save a large file.

|-
|| 09:31
||You can choose either of the options mentioned here.

|-
|| 09:36
||I will use '''Kml''' format to save the file.

|-
|| 09:40
||Click on '''Kml format''' in '''Files of type '''field.

|-
|| 09:45
|| Click on the '''Save '''button at the bottom-right corner of the dialog-box.

|-
|| 09:51
|| Similarly save the '''Boundary file''' also in '''Kml''' format.

|-
|| 09:56
|| The two files '''Places in Maharashtra.kml''' and '''Boundary.kml''' are saved on '''Desktop'''.

|-
|| 10:06
|| Next we will open these two files created in '''Google Earth Pro''' in '''QGIS'''.

|-
|| 10:13
|| Open '''QGIS''' interface.

|-
|| 10:17
|| Click on '''Add Vector Layer''' tool from the left menu.

|-
|| 10:22
||'''Add Vector Layer''' dialog-box opens.

|-
|| 10:26
|| Under '''Source''' field, click on '''Browse '''button.

|-
|| 10:31
||Navigate to the '''Desktop''' folder.

|-
|| 10:35
|| Select both '''Places in Maharashtra.kml''' and '''Boundary.kml''' files.

|-
|| 10:42
|| Click on '''Open '''button.

|-
|| 10:45
|| Click on '''Open '''button in '''Add vector layer '''dialog-box.

|-
|| 10:50
||In the '''Select vector Layers to add '''dailog-box click on '''Select All''' button.

Click on '''OK''' button.

|-
||11:01
|| Both the files imported are now added as '''layers''' on the '''QGIS''' canvas.
