Map To Google Earth
Exports all visible feature layers to Google
Earth KML or KMZ file.

Inputs:
- All visible layers in ArcMap
- Map name
- Map description
- Output Google Earth file
- Export option:
- All - all features of the feature classes
of the visible layers will be exported.
- Definition - the Query Definitions will be
honored - the features excluded by the query definitions will not be
exported.
- Selected - only selected features will be
exported
- Visible - only features that intersect the
current visible extent will be exported
- Coordinate Precision - number of digits after
the decimal point for exported coordinates.
- Export parameters. For each layer the user can
assign different parameters. See Google
Earth general for descriptions of the parameters
Notes:
- For each layer the classification used
in ArcMap will be exported with the symbology assigned.
- Only single field unique value
classification can be exported
- For graduated classifications the use of
Normalization field is supported.
- For point layers only the size and the
color of the ArcGIS markers will be used. Google Icons need to be
selected for each layer.
- To the Map description the software will add
"Exported with ET GeoWizards". Do not remove ET GeoWizards if you
want to import the KML back to ArcGIS. This is used to identify that the KML
structure is created by ET GeoWizards and more effective algorithm is used
for import of the KML file.
- If you do not specifically need to add the
attribute data to both Features and Info-Points, avoid it. The duplication
of the attribute description makes the KML file too large.
- See Google
Earth general for important additional information.
