So this let me to think that they MUST be a way to do the same with my layer and shapefile in ArcGIS. You can double-click on your kmz file to open it in Google Earth,or use File then Click Open from the Google Earth menu. Once you have saved the kmz file, you can delete the temporary image overlay. And by a simple clic, all our data within TBO were display on google earth with very good accuracy. Right-click on it and select Save Place As to save it as a kmz file. We processed some GPS data using Trimble Business Office. I've attached a zipped folder which contain the layer file, the origin shapefile and the kml exported.Īfter trying for ages I gave up thinking that there is some projection incompatibility between ArcGIS and google earth and I was surprised to find no solution on internet of a problem that I imagine would be very common.īut this week I had a demonstration from a sales man working for trimble.

I also have the corresponding quad pdfs saved within my project folder in a folder named pdf. In arcmap, I have 4 USGS quad boundaries. I can’t show what I was working on but I’ve recreated it with some public data. Yesterday, I set up a kml with hyperlinks to local pdf’s via a relative link.
#Arcgis file google earth pro
As you can see below my outline should fit within the field and not be on the road!!! As you should know google earth pro is now free. I've try to export to different coordinates system but it's always out on the same location wrong by a few ten's of meter. I'm in the uk so the original layer is in OSTNO2 coordinates. I have been using Layer to KML export function but the result is always wrong. I've been struggling for ages trying to export a layer file (either vector or image to google earth).
