Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: BlackX on August 28, 2009, 06:50:17 AM You need to have google earth. Download that and you should be able to open the file.
Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: SteeevO on August 28, 2009, 08:38:27 AM how'd you d/l it? i took the file off of the server... ???
I'll have to dig it up for you Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: helix66 on August 31, 2009, 08:57:19 PM I clicked it and it was there, this file "4x4_trails.kmz". I meant to say google earth above, I think I tired importing it and it didn't do anything.
Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: SteeevO on September 01, 2009, 12:26:05 AM Hmm i've updated them on my computer since i've posted this as well but i need to clean it up a bit. there is some that stuff that is really redundant. I'll work on that.
but you should be able to import it into the my places list on the left side and then hide or show the layers at will... Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: helix66 on September 01, 2009, 09:03:04 PM Cool, I'll check it out. I'm sure that'd be great if it could load into a gps unit....if I had one!
Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: SteeevO on September 02, 2009, 09:25:14 AM there is a program that will convert the google earth files to gps files.. :thumbup:
Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: helix66 on September 02, 2009, 10:04:24 PM I have to get one I guess, at some point, my phone has google maps but it isn't good w/o a phone signal!
.......I'll bet that program is PC only.....I'm Mac. Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: SteeevO on September 03, 2009, 02:13:09 AM there must be apps out there for the mac as well..
even if you can open up the files in a text editors, it shouldn't be hard to do it manually. the faormat is pretty straight forward. Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: helix66 on September 19, 2009, 07:10:29 PM I can't seem to find how to get that 4x4_trails.kmz file to load into google earth.
Here's what I'm getting when I go file>open: (http://i36.tinypic.com/de5vyu.png) Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: SteeevO on September 20, 2009, 12:30:31 PM here is the new file. Try this one:

Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: onewaysoldier on February 22, 2011, 06:41:31 PM I know you set up to overlays for the KMZ. But was are the sources for those maps. Sure wouldn't mind having physical copies of those out on the trail.
Title: Re: Big Bear & Arrowhead Google Earth Overlays Post by: SteeevO on February 23, 2011, 02:57:19 AM The maps are from a few sources.
Mainly the USFS maps from the ranger station. |
