Export from Global Mapper to KMZ/KML
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- Drag and drop the photos into GM
- Select them with the Digitizer Tool
- View > Zoom View > Zoom to View in Google Earth
- When asked if you want to include the features click Yes.
- In Google Earth right-click on the layer and use Save Place As
- Drag and drop the photos into GM
- Select the layers
- Right-click
- Layer > Export
- OK
- KML/KMZ (Vector Data Only)
- Choose Feature Descriptions, Links, and Attribute Value and Embed Linked Image Files Rather thank Linking to Disk Location
