Discover the wonders found under the sea with Street View imagery collected by Underwater Earth and The Ocean Agency. Now when you double-click on the folder in the Places panel, Google Earth will fly to that saved view, or perspective. The ocean covers 71 percent of the Earth's surface, yet only 5 percent has been explored. To do this, right-click on the folder in the Places panel, and choose Snapshot View. Solution MicroStation CONNECT Edition (also to include other Bentley CONNECT and older V8i Power products) are only certified to work with Google Earth Pro 32-bit versions. You can also assign a Snapshot View to a folder. After some experimentation we reckon that Google Earth by default uses a horizontal field of view (HFOV) of about 60 and Google Maps uses a HFOV of about 35 for its ‘Earth’ view. Now, when you double-click on that placemark in the 3D viewer or in the Places panel, Google Earth will fly to that saved view, or perspective. Go to the View tab, and click the Snapshot Current View button. To open the Properties, right-click on the placemark in the 3D viewer or in the Places panel, and choose Properties (on a PC) or Get Info (on a Mac). You can also set the Snapshot View in the Properties window click on the Snapshot current view button, as shown below. Using Snapshot Views can be very effective for telling stories and guiding users through your Google Earth layer in a controlled manner, helping them get the unique perspectives you want them to see. This will save your unique camera angle, or perspective, for this placemark.
#GOOGLE EARTH PRO 3D VIEW FREE#
Google Earth Pro on desktop is free for users with advanced feature needs. Roll the dice to discover someplace new, take a guided tour with Voyager. Right-click on the “Flirt” placemark in the Places panel, and select Snapshot View. With Google Earth for Chrome, fly anywhere in seconds and explore hundreds of 3D cities right in your browser. For example, zoom into the placemark labeled “Flirt”, and tilt and rotate the Earth to a unique perspective. Use the mouse or the navigation tools to orient the Earth to a unique perspective for a placemark. The length of a path drawn around the ring road of MRU is 1.55 km (see yellow path on image).Notice how there is no unique camera angle, or perspective, set for the placemarks - when you double-click on a placemark, the Earth doesn't tilt or rotate to a unique perspective. Figure T5: Using the ruler tool to measure the length of a path, rather than a simple straight line. Click clear to erase the line or path you measured. Notice that you can change the unit of measurement by using the drop down menu. Figure T5 shows a measured path along the ring road around MRU.
You can also measure the length of a path, rather than just a straight line. Under the 3D View Tab, under the Terrain section, change the vertical exaggeration (also called elevation exaggeration) to 3 and select Apply. This example shows that the length of two soccer fields at MRU is 151.47 m (see yellow line on map). The dialogue box will tell you the length of the line you are measuring. Figure T4: Using the ruler tool to measure distances in Google Earth. What distance did you measure? In Figure T4, the length of the line measured represents a real distance of 151.47 m. You can also tilt the map to see underwater terrain, which makes it even more useful. To rotate the view, simply use the mouses tilt and rotation buttons to move the cursor in any direction. This feature allows you to move and zoom through the terrain. Click once to start measuring and click again to stop. The 3D viewer is built into Google Earth. Let’s use a line to measure the length of the two soccer fields at MRU. A dialogue box should pop up (see Figure T4). In Figure T1 below, the entire length of the scale bar represents a real distance of 230 m, and each division along the scale bar represents a real distance of 57.5 m.Ĭlick on the ruler icon in the toolbar located at the top of the screen. A scale bar helps you determine the actual, on the ground, distance between points or along lines.
In the top right corner, the compass shows which direction is north in the current view.The red place marker shows the name and the exact location of the place you typed into the search bar.Let’s point out a few things you should know about Google Earth. From what altitude are you looking down on MRU? Figure T1: Annotated Google Earth map view of Mount Royal University (MRU), highlighting where to find the location marker for MRU (red box), the scale bar (yellow box), and north (blue arrow and compass in upper right corner).
