Or you can search for “Glenwood Springs pool” and find where I’m looking!
First, know that if you click on the magnifying glass icon on the top left you can type in the name of a place anywhere in the world, from the Carrousel de la Tour Eiffel in Paris, France to Qiongdao Island in Beijing, China, False Bay Seal Island Reserve in Cape Town, South Africa to Deadhorse Airport in Alaska, USA. This is the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, the largest outdoor hot springs pool in the world.
To do that, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the basic options all stacked up on the left side of the window. The first step is to know how to search for a location. So let’s do that! FIND A LOCATION IN GOOGLE EARTH While Google Earth tends to work better with the app – and better on mobile – you can easily use the Web-based version accessible at to quick check some measurements. Not only that, but a version of all this imagery is available online for free through services like Google Earth.Ī fair amount of this imagery can be years out of date, so checking out that new construction project across town is probably going to be a fail, but in terms of landmarks and areas that have been developed for many years, it’s an absolute win. Now it’s not only all digital but it’s really well encoded for additional information like altitude (critical for measuring distances on the surface: How far is it from the satellite that captured the image?) and, of course, precise latitude and longitude.
I need to import kml files into Rhino for large site models.Satellite imagery has come a long way since the heydey of the Cold War, with experts peering at photos of land masses with a loupe. Our current workaround is to export the building geometry to SketchUp via an SKP file, texture the model there using pictures of the building, then place it in GE. It would help if picture files which have been mapped to surfaces could be exported as well. Reverse the idea and you have something just as interesting… Any way to export 3D building data from Google Earth into Rhino? Yes – We do a lot of work for State DOT's and this would be especially useful in the civil-structural arena where everyone wants to get a sense of scale for the project. Not yet for my type of business, but when I see Manhattan New York at Google Earth, I think there's a potential, even when it is quick and dirty because that's also the quality of the buildings to be seen at Google Earth. But… the Google Earth file format is every simple so the model will not look great. Rhino might be an easy way to export many different file formats and complex shapes to Google Earth for presentation. Note: We need to know from our users if it is worthwhile to tune up the plug-in.
