| Precise Polygon | zeetzerboy | 6/18/12 5:20 PM | Is there some way to make a polygon without actually doing the clicking? I know how to do a standard polygon but I'd like to know if there's some way to input multiple coordinates (latitude, longitude) and let Google Earth draw the exact polygon whe |
| Re: Precise Polygon | jasonM1 | 6/20/12 10:28 AM | You can simply paste the coordinates together insert a KML snippet then open it in Google Earth. Just need to follow the KML format and make sure the first and last point are the same. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <kml xmlns="http://www. |
| Re: Precise Polygon | zeetzerboy | 6/28/12 11:39 AM | Okay, so obviously I tried out that format you put down there exactly and it worked. But when I put in my own coordinates with that format, the polygon's shape was signficantly off, sometimes it would have this weird warped shape around the globe. |
| Re: Precise Polygon | zeetzerboy | 6/28/12 11:50 AM | In fact, the last couple times I tried it, it doesn't even zoom in on a location, it takes me to this random general view of the northeast part of South America, with no polygon. |
| Re: Precise Polygon | Noisette | 6/30/12 2:36 PM | Perhaps you could attach your example? In particular, make sure there is no space between the coordinates, only a comma. |
| Re: Precise Polygon | jasonM1 | 7/10/12 6:01 AM | If the shape wraps around the globe then either 1) you're placing latitude value before longitude, or 2) the shape spans the international date line (-180/+180 longitude) -- that may cause such a problem. Verify all your coordinates are in the form |
