In the example below, the two pushpins mark the original points created in Google Earth, and the grid was created specifying “10” as the number of lines:īy checking the Draw Path box, I can draw a line between these two points, and put arrow markers on the end of it “Link last to first” closes the path if checked:Ĭreating a new set of four placemarks in Google Earth, I can connect them all into a polygon, calculate the perimeter and area of the polygon, and have the area displayed in the center of the polygon in Google Earth:įor the final example, I’ll check the “Make Polygons” box, and create polygons centered at each of the points above. Choose Run, and the KML file will be created, and opened in Google Earth automatically if the checkbox at the bottom is set. Check the box next to Make Grid, select the line color, and then the number of lines or the distance between lines (in kilometers). Save them as a KML file (not KMZ), and open them in GE-Path. Suppose you enter two points in Google Earth, and want to create an equally-spaced or constant-distance grid between the points. 9, 218, 291292 Grid Lines option (Mode icon), 150 H hardware buttons about.
Here’s the program interface:Īnd here are a few examples of its use. 7374 Google icon, 108, 109 Google Maps app, 219 Google Maps icon. GE-Path allows you to take point data, either from a KML file, a spreadsheet, or entered manually, and create paths and polygons from them. In his post, he describes another great Google Earth utility from the same author that I was also planning to post on, and here it finally is. Frank over at Google Earth Blog was nice enough to link to my post last week about GE-Graph.
