Why Google Earth for GIS
Professionals
●Part of your tool box to process geographic
information.
●Useful tool for clients and the general public
to interact with geographic content you have
created and/or organized.
●Great for beginning GIS users that are not
ready to learn QGIS or purchase ESRI
products.

Google Earth Topics
●Exploration of the features of Google Earth and Google Maps including:
navigation and configuration tips; streetview; 3D buildings; transparency; layers;
historic aerial time slider.
●Finding additional layers that can be added to Google Earth including USGS
Topographic Maps and Digital Elevation Models; historic map overlays.
●Creating content using the tools available in Google Earth and/or Google
Maps including points, paths, polygons, tours, image overlays and network
links.
●Google Earth’s native file format KML (Keyhole Markup Language) including:
basic structure of language; features commonly supported during conversion
between ESRI shapefiles and KML; use of Google Docs and Fusion Tables
(spreadsheets) to create kml content; advanced features supported by
programming.
●Mention of other free or inexpensive tools for creating and adapting GIS
content.

XML is everywhere
●Microsoft Office docx, xlsx, etc. are xml documents.
●Most databases can read and write xml with the aid
of XSLT.
●Google Earth KML is XML (just change the file
extension)
●KMZ is just KML text + images that have been
compressed into one file. (change the file extension
to .zip and unzip)

Understanding XML/KML
●Text document that can be opened by any text
editor (notepad, notepad++, Word, etc.)
●Most XML is created by an application, not written
by hand.
●Text editor find and replace tools are useful to clean
up data for import or export.
●Regular Expression is a powerful search/replace
language built into many text editors.
