Export from Global Mapper to KMZ/KML

rekids

I'm looking to export photos out to Google Earth. They are geo-referenced. I haven't used GM since Global Mapper 13. A lot has changed for sure. So, I need to see just a placemark or something in Google Earth when opening the KMZ/KML file. I also need to attribute data that is saved with the photo (photo location), so when I click on it in Google Earth, it opens up that photo.

Mike Childs if you're here, I used to sell your product at Total CAD Systems. I worked with Jeff Juniewich.

Hi Todd,

Long time no see - I hope you are well. Not sure if you recall but I spoke to you at AU2018 in Las Vegas after one of your classes. I do the Mining visualisations in InfraWorks.

Ok, not sure about how to do this in v13.2 specifically but there are two methods for the current version that I am aware of as follows. If you don't have this ability please send a private message and we can discuss an alternative solution.

Method 1

1. Drag and drop the photos into GM
2. Select them with the Digitizer Tool
3. View > Zoom View > Zoom to View in Google Earth
4. When asked if you want to include the features click Yes.
5. In Google Earth right-click on the layer and use Save Place As

Method 2

1. Drag and drop the photos into GM
2. Select the layers
3. Right-click
4. Layer > Export
5. OK
6. KML/KMZ (Vector Data Only)
7. Choose Feature Descriptions, Links, and Attribute Value and Embed Linked Image Files Rather thank Linking to Disk Location

Good luck buddy,

Steve
