Kestrel v0.1.3

Reads more formats

  • CSV & Excel with coordinate columns — finds lon/lat or x/y / easting/northing, computes
    the extent, and infers the CRS. Lon/lat data gets located on the map; projected values are
    flagged as needing a CRS.
  • KMZ (zipped KML).

Catches more problems

  • UTM hemisphere / zone mismatch (e.g. a northern-zone CRS on southern-hemisphere data, or
    coordinates that fall in a different zone than the CRS claims).
  • Antimeridian-wrapping extents.
  • Mixed coordinate systems across GeoPackage layers.
  • Invalid / self-intersecting geometry.

More robust

  • One broken layer in a multi-layer GeoPackage no longer fails the whole file — it's flagged and
    the rest still loads.

Also includes the v0.1.1 network-path (UNC) fix and v0.1.2 wording polish.

Download (Windows 64-bit, no Python required)

  • KestrelSetup.exe - installer (recommended). Per-user, no admin; Start-Menu shortcut + uninstaller.
  • Kestrel-windows.zip - portable. Unzip and run Kestrel\Kestrel.exe.

Unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first launch; choose More info then Run anyway.
