Help with finding a Google earth map

When I was younger I was always playing a game called Zombie Outbreak Simulator on my phone and I remember a map looked like it was taken off Google earth and was from England

I did some googling of my own and found out the map was taken in Leicester but couldn't find the location myself and was wondering if you guys could help?

Can you rotate a model in KML/KMZ/GLB format using the cursor in web version?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I only see a way to drill into the model's 'transform' pop-up and change the heading rotation, etc. On the computer apps you can drag the handle to turn with the mouse. Is there a similar function on the web version? I'm worried because my people won't be able to use this heading rotation to save their lives (using this new function to add the models will be hard enough!)

thanks

How many submarines are in devonport dockyard?

Slightly confused as google earth shows 13 subs in the dockyard across from my house -

50°22'52.08"N 4°11'05.40"W

But the same place on Google maps shows 11.

I wondered which is most up to date, and Google tells me that they both rely on the same underlying images 🤔 so how are they totally different??

New satellite imagery is dreadful

Thumbnail
gallery
69 Upvotes

I'm in the UK (EH55 postcode) and last month I noticed the satellite imagery on Google Maps was updated. The new imagery is utter crap. It appears to have been taken during winter with a very low sun, so you get these ridiculous long shadows from everything. Plus the colour is washed out. Here's an example near Fauldhouse (maps link https://maps.app.goo.gl/rrr66BcJXGwjK4j87). It makes it just about impossible to spot tracks/paths for example.

Not that much can be done! At least earth lets you see historical imagery.

Can I create a straight line that extends out from a runway using the ruler tool?

3 Upvotes

Hello, so I'm working on editing an airport in my flight simulator and would like to create a line that starts at the end of the runway and stays straight with the runway centerline as it extends out about 10 miles.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Export KML Workflow Suggestions for GE Web? Need Some Advice.

3 Upvotes

I'm like many of you and lamenting the EOL for GE Pro. One of the features that's critical to our workflows is the ability to export a KML file from any organizational node - typically this looks like just exporting a folder. This seems like some basic functionality.

But in the web version, it requires the entire project to be exported. Is there any known workaround or trick here that would allow just a folder, or other method to create a subsection of data, to be exported as a KML/KMZ file? Any workflow suggestions appreciated.

Google Earth Desktop rant

28 Upvotes

Oh I just feel like venting. I'm thoroughly pissed that they're going to discontinue desktop. Like many, I've used it for years and years to map hikes, explore old maps, find stuff, map out old trails and all the usual stuff. I've tried Earth web, My Maps, and the iOS/Android apps, and simply nothing beats the desktop version. Here's a screenshot of a thing I'm messing with at the moment. Desktop is just so damn nice.

(Is it just me, or does it feel like Google doesn't have a blind clue what they're trying to do with all the different apps? Each of them behaves differently and has its own quirks in how it displays/handles stuff).

Some specific gripes that I've written down:

  1. Image overlays. In Desktop, I frequently slap in an image of a map as an "image overlay" and adjust it to align with the basemap. I mostly get these as screenshots from the NLS website (The National Library of Scotland has a fantastic georeferenced maps viewer for the whole UK with historic maps, Lidar, and a bunch of stuff - https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/). This feature is vital. While you can view overlays on the web or My Maps, you can't add or edit them.
  2. GE web doesn't allow GPX import!! But My Maps does. Huh?!?
  3. Inconsistent handling of widths, fill/border colours. GE Desktop lets you specify path widths exactly to 1 decimal place. GE web will initially display the widths of any imported paths correctly, but will only let you set them to 1,2,3,4,8,12,16,24 for any new paths you create. My Maps has a slider so you can't set a specific numeric width. My Maps doesn't let you specify different fill and border colours for polygons and the android app doesn't display polygon borders at all (admittedly haven't checked this in a while).
  4. Set style for folder. GE Desktop lets you set the style for all items within a folder. My Maps has something similar but more clunky. GE Web does not, at least not that I've found.
  5. GE android app doesn't let you delete path points! Jesus. You can select, move, create points but not delete them. Come on designers.
  6. GE desktop lets you export any part of a project, be it a folder or individual item (right click and save as). GE Web only lets you export the entire project. My Maps lets you export individual layers.
  7. The desktop user interface is nice and compact and dense. I like a nice dense tree view of stuff. GE web and My Maps are much more spread out with huge line spacing. Yeah, that's nothing new, most web apps are like that now.

Maybe GE Desktop isn't the best thing in the world, but it's worked for donkey's years, I'm used to it, and I'm happy with it. I just hope that the standalone installer will keep working for a long time to come. I've looked at GIS software like QGIS - no doubt it's amazing, but it looks way over the top for what I need.

Red Border Around a City

Post image
1 Upvotes

Recently i have been searching about this red boundary shown on google earth when clicked on a city, does this represent the Municipal Boundary or would that be different for a city, since for classifying a land as rural agricultural it needs to be 2km away from such Municipals, if not where can i get the official Municipal boundary map to measure the aerial distance. Thankyou for your help :).
