Google Earth, in contrast, has been a program that you download and save on your computer, though now it does have a web browser plugin functionality. The main difference between the two is that Google Maps is accessed through a Web browser and an Internet connection. This is largely due to the addition of new features to Google Maps, such as support for 3D Imagery and other features that used to only be available in Google Earth.

Leave This Blank: Leave This Blank Too: Do Not Change This: Finally, right-click the layer added to the Temporary Places folder, and click “Save Place As.” Provide a location and file name for the file to be created.
Note: you don’t have to save the style template to select the name field.
If you do so, you will be able to choose the attribute that contains the item name (for example, the address field or the street name field). You will be asked whether you wish to apply a style template to the document.You will still possess the ability to import the entire file, but it may take some time. When opened, you will receive a warning if your shapefile contains more than 2,500 items.Be certain to change the file type to “ESRI Shapefile”. First, open the shapefile with the Open command.Second, you can (usually) convert the shapefile to KML with Google Earth Pro.First, you can split your shapefile into several smaller shaepfiles.There are two ways to solve this problem. Otherwise, it has no effect, whatever the number.įor layers with many features, ArcGIS may produce a KML file that does not open in Google Earth due to errors. Finally, you must enter a number for the “Layer Output Scale.” If your layer has a scale-dependent renderer, this setting allows you to export the KML at a specific level of resolution.Next select a directory for the file to be created and provide a name for the file.When the “Layer to KML” window appears, first select the shapefile or layer for the “Layer” box.In the ArcToolbox window, expand “Conversion Tools,” then “To KML,” and select “Layer to KML.”.First, open the layer that you wish to covert.Note: Be certain you are allowed to share layers if they were not created by you. Both ArcGIS and Google Earth Pro contain tools that allow conversion to and saving in KML format. Converting ArcGIS layers to Google Earth allows others to easily see layers without specialized software.
