I have a KMZ made of lines from saved measurements. I would like to click and drag to move certain groupings of these lines

Instead of manually going to the properties of each line and moving both endpoints.

Issues linking to locations in Google Earth Web

I'm trying to set up links to specific locations in Google Earth Web, but the web interface seems to have a particularly annoying and unhelpful feature, in that it automatically loads the last location you were looking at NO MATTER WHAT link you used to get to Google Earth Web.

For instance, I want to send someone to this location from an outside web page and have constructed the following link to get there: https://earth.google.com/web/search/47.2917539952200,2.9505877838643 -- (It's a spot in the Loire Valley of France). But if you have a cookie from Google Earth in your browser, when you click that link you will instead be brought to a view of whatever you were last looking at on Google Earth).

If for some reason you have recently cleared your cookies, the link will function as expected and you'll end up zooming into that specific location.

MY QUESTION: Is there some way to construct a query string or link that overrides this lame default functionality of Google Earth Web?

It seems rather counterproductive for the web interface to be designed this way, as it makes deep linking to locations basically impossible.

Did they update the imagery? About a month ago, I noticed the WA wheatbelt started looking really brown. Was this just taken in summer, or is this permanent?

Anyone know how to fix this problem with Google Earth?

I open Google Earth on my computer, and I get an error message "cannot connect to server at kh.google.com". Online, all webpages are working normally, so the issue is not that I don't have internet access.

Then, I go to the Google Earth web version, and it loads, but comes up all blue.

I uninstall and reinstall the program, and even try different versions, but the same error message occurs. I reboot my computer and even that does not work.

Anyone know what is going on?

I have a Macintosh computer with the latest system version.

How do I create a grid with 5-minute squares and export it to Google Earth, ensuring each square is an individual polygon?

I need to generate a grid in Google Earth where each square is 5 minutes in size (latitude/longitude). The total area is a rectangle that’s 105 minutes wide and 85 minutes high. I plan to use QGIS for this since I need each square to be an individual polygon so I can toggle their visibility in Google Earth. Is there a way to do this? Is QGIS the appropriate software?

Coordinates

How does one add coordinates to the bottom corner of the screen on the ios Google earth app? Only coordinates I can currently get to show up are from having the grid lines on or by dropping a pin. I would like coordinates on screen at all times like I used to have it.

Need Help Exporting Kml File

I created a project in Google Earth Pro, then added images to placemarks in Google Earth Web. Now the file seems to be too large to export (no warnings, just that smaller projects export but this one freezes and nothing downloads). Is there any work around to this? Any way I could save this to my drive or a way to force the file to export? Any suggestions appreciated!

The local KML file is what I am looking to either download, save to drive, or recover from chrome's local storage.

Filling in gaps in a map

Hello,

I'm a complete Google Earth N00b. I've been handed a KMZ file which contains a map of the UK's parliament constituencies . The problem I have is that not all of them have been put in. I have a couple of areas which haven't been marked up but are entirely surround by other areas - I don't want to draw a polygon by hand as this will be too long a task with the uneven border and I want something that touches the border of the other elements so that no part of the country is left out or falls into two regions. Is there a tool, I'm thinking like the old paint bucket in Paintbrush, which will allow me to select all the empty space and make it a new polygon, or some other way of quickly and neatly filling this in?

bonus question - I have a couple of similar area which are bounded by the sea, so not entirely surrounded by other polygons, can anything be done there?

Anyone know why South America is highlighted green & red and ONLY South America? I disabled all layers but it's still there. The rest of the world is unaffected by this.

Alternatives to Super Overlays

Hi there, I'm a big Google Earth user and constantly loading new satellite imagery and annotating with various folders for different projects. By default I've been creating tons of super overlays which often end up overloading my computer and requiring restarts. Also it seems that I'll run out of drive space eventually. Is there an alternative here that allows for storing dozens of layers of satellite imagery that won't task my system so much?

What’s the best website to find turquoise-blue waters like in the Bahamas? Are there filters that can help identify places with that specific water color when looking at some online map ?

Satellite view anomaly

33.889432,35.488009

I find it weird that Beirut satellite view shows the sides of buildings, I've only ever seen direct view of roofs only while browsing the globe..

Wonder if it's anything to do with limited satellite coverage over the middle east

how to Isolate home in google earth/maps

Hi - Not sure if this is the correct sub, but I'm looking to create a feature for a site where you can put in your address, get the 45 degree angle, then isolate your home and yard so the surrounding environment and homes are removed. Appreciate any feedback.

I need help with some things

well, I'm on Google Earth and I've uploaded a route. then a red line appeared and next to it, a bunch of markings written P-number. However, these markings pollute the screen too much and make it difficult for me to see my own markings. How do I get this P-number?

Can you just draw shapes on a map manually, or does everything get done with code?

I am just trying to visualize different areas across a city. I want to use basic shapes, circles or whatever, to outline different areas of the city in different colours.

Is this easily possible with Google earth? It doesnt need to be super accurate, but from what i am reading I have to make custom XML files for everything manually.

If that is the case, is there an alternative I might look for?

Hope I am allowed to ask some questions, didnt see anything in the sidebar that says not to.

Google Earth Pro will not load tiles when zoomed in all the way???????

I don't understand how this isn't more common of a problem I literally have looked everywhere on the internet and absolutely nothing is similar and none of the fixes I've read have worked. I have switched to both DirectX and OpenGL, no change. I have disabled atmosphere. I cleared all cache. I turned off anisotropic filtering. I can't delete my places cause its for an assignment but it shouldn't be an issue because even before I added it to my places this issue still came up. Any ideas that doesn't involve coding would be great, half of my searches came up with a bunch of code that I literally don't know what to do with.

Google Maps data to Google Earth Pro

I have been trying to find a way to transfer saved pins/places in Google Maps to implement them into Google Earth. I can do so manually, but is there a way to import the data? All I can find when searching this are posts about importing to Google Maps from Google Earth, whilst I'm after the opposite!

Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you!
