![]() ![]() And what happened to the Voyager section where you could view different interactive pre-made stories like sea level rise, deforestation, etc?! ![]() The slideshow for viewing photos is a complete downgrade because you can no longer zoom in on the pictures! The layers tab is cluttered. Now I have this annoying UI element constantly taking up a ton of space where it can accidentally get tapped. This could be useful to see temporal changes in the landscape of your project areas.This update makes absolutely no sense and is a perfect example for app developers of what NOT to do - don’t dramatically change an app that worked great for years unless the changes clearly benefit users! These changes are not improvements! Why make a huge “Your projects” tab that takes up screen real estate without even giving us the option to completely hide it? My guess is that most mobile Google Earth users don’t even use projects regularly… I certainly don’t. ![]() You can also import historical satellite imagery from Google. Below is an example of a landuse layer on top of a Google Earth image. You should now be able to overlay additional layers on top of the satellite image. To finish your georeferencing, click on the “Georeferencing” menu item from the toolbar, and select “update georeferencing”.If the map has disappeared from your view port, just right click on the layer, and select “zoom to layer” Repeat the process for the remaining 3 control points.Add the correct coordinates for your Top-left control pointWARNING: Remember that “X” is LONGITUDE and “Y” is LATITUDE.Now, RIGHT click once and click on “Input X and Y…”.Hover over the exact center of the top left icon you created, and LEFT click once.From the georeferencing toolbar, click the “add control points” button.Zoom into the top left corner of your satellite image.If it prompts you to build pyramids, click ok Add the image file from Google to ArcMap.Go to Customize -> Toolbars -> Georeferencing.Choose Predefined -> Geographic Coordinate Systems -> World -> WGS 1984.Go to View -> Data Frame Properties and select the Coordinate System tab.Now you will import your google earth image, and georeference it based on the 4 control points you created. Go to File -> Save -> Save Image and save your file Repeat the process and add icons for “Top-right”, “Bottom-left” and “Bottom-right”.Jot down (or copy and paste) the latitude and longitude coordinates somewhere you can access later.Move the icon from the middle of the screen to the top left corner of the map.Press F11 to make your map go full screen.This will reset the view angle to be “top down” and rotates the map so that it is “north up” ![]() Navigate to the area and extent that you want to use in ArcMap.Go to Tools -> Options, and change the “Show Lat/Long” option to “Decimal Degrees”.In the Layers panel, turn everything off.Then, you will add 4 control points on each corner of the image, record their latitude/longitude coordinates, and export the image as a jpg file. You will navigate to the location in Google Earth that you want to bring in to ArcMap. One huge advantage of using Google Earth imagery is that you will be able to bring in historical data that is now available. As an alternative method to bring in satellite imagery into ArcMap, the following tutorial guides you through the steps of bringing in selected screenshots from Google Earth into ArcMap. However, this requires a robust network connection because you are constantly feeding in live data from their servers. ArcMap 10 now allows you to bring in Bing Maps imagery as baselayers to your project. ![]()
