Export your TOPO! Pro maps and projects to visualize and share in Google Earth.ge_fire_sm.jpg


Using TOPO Pro, with a few mouse clicks you can export rich TOPO! maps or your entire project to Google Earth KML. This 2D or 3D visualization platform supports a free, and engaging tool for visualization, and sharing of maps, spatial objects, photographs, and data with anyone! Now, you can rapidly brief colleagues, clients, commanders, and associates with the most current scenarios, all within a powerful viewer.

Leverage the power of TOPO! maps in Google Earth

The ability to drape TOPO! maps over the Google Earth base terrain adds a new level of power in visualiztion and awareness of surroundings. Using Google Earth's transparency fader, easily pan the visibility of the TOPO! map from 100% to 0% revealing the earth surface features through Google Earth's vast aerial and satellite imagery coverage. Alternatively, set the transparaency to a midrange to view both at the same time!

Unfold the story in your project with independent spatial objectsge_places.jpg


TOPO! Pro exports each object (routes, points, notes, polygons, etc) independently. Since Google Earth supports simple toggling of layer visiblity, it's easy to "tell the story" in your project supporting project debriefing, condition assessments, spatial analysis, and even travel presentations.

Examples: The following examples require the free application, Google Earth. If you have not already installed it, please visit the Google Earth download page first.
