I have had many requests over the years to add a USGS topographic Map overlay without the map borders. This is a huge project and I have finally decided to move forward with it. You can read more about this project below,.

Feb 27, 2009 - No. This type of funtionality is not available in any version of GE. You can only save GE imagery as jpg files. I believe the reason for that is that the license terms between GE and their imagery providers (as well as their end-users) require that the imagery only be used in the GE app itself, unless you save an. Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

These maps will be made available in downloadable bundles. Each Topographic Map Mosaic bundle typically contains 64 7.5-minute series (1:24,000 scale) USGS topographic maps and covers a 1×1 degree area of the United States (about 3,000 to 4,000 square miles). An installation program is included that will automatically add the maps to Google Earth on your PC (so long as Google Earth is already installed). Mac users should be able to install the maps using the unzip command in the (“unzip N46W123-Setup.exe” for example).

There is also a Mac program call that might allow you to run the EXE file directly, but I do not have the ability to test it out. If anyone has any other Mac tips, please post a comment. The maps have been created using Google Earth Super Overlays, which means the maps will automatically increase in resolution as you zoom in. You can purchase multiple map bundles and they will join together seamlessly in Google Earth. The maps are georeferenced so they align with the underlying imagery in Google Earth. In addition, the 10-meter National Elevation Dataset (NED) has been used to apply hill shading to the maps to enhance the topography.

The map bundles range in size from 100 to 600 megabytes, and are priced at $5.00 per bundle, which works out to less than 10 cents per map. Some of the coastal areas are priced at $1.00 if there are only a few maps in the coverage area. This method of delivery allows the maps to be used off-line and also allows the maps to be viewed much faster, and in higher resolutions than would be possible streaming the maps over the internet. You also don’t have to worry about connectivity issues, slow servers, etc. The first release covers the western United States (West of Longitude -113) and I intend to release map bundles covering the rest of the United States in the coming months.

I have two PCs working 24/7 creating the maps. More information about how to order and download the maps can be found on. (214 megabytes) covering the area north of San Francisco is available if you want to try one out for free.

In addition, I have made a second map bundle covering (555 megabytes) available for free. Has made available a great set of 1:50,000 scale Topographic Maps available online. I downloaded all 455 of the maps covering the main island of New Zealand and converted them to a seamless Google Earth overlay. The maps show roads, placenames, contour lines, elevations points, etc, and make a great tool for planning hiking trips and other outdoor adventures. Since they are Google Earth overlays, you can also adjust the transparency of the topographic maps to compare the maps with the underlying imagery available from Google Earth.

You can also see the names of features from Google Earth on the maps. There are two versions of the topographic map overlay available. The free version is designed to be used online and has highly compressed images to allow for faster loading. The Pro Version is designed to run from your local computer, does not require an internet connection, and has much higher image quality. The Pro Version is almost 9 gigabytes. Make sure you have enough space on your computer and a high speed internet connection before purchasing.

Free Version Pro Version Internet required No internet required Lossy compression No image compression Reduced resolution Same resolution as source Free $30. UPDATE 1/16/2011 – Gallery updated to include almost all of the images posted by NASA through the end of 2011. The MODIS Satellite Gallery collection from the contains about 3,300 satellite images obtained from NASA’s Aqua and Terra satellites overlaid onto Google Earth. These satellites capture natural color imagery in amazing detail from all over the Earth. NASA posts some of the most interesting imagery collected from these satellites several times per week at the.
