It will make our flood inundation depth map more accessible. Thanks?

Sashikumar N, PhD1 year ago

Thankyou Prof Qiusheng Wu, I was able to follow your instructions and get the tile layers onto Google Earth. Is there a way to add a legend for the layer features?

Acquiring foundational site details usually means traveling to sites, finding utility access points, and tracking down disparate data sources. Google Earth is changing the way professionals work. New AI-powered data layers in Google Earth pull from billions of Google Street View images to map infrastructure assets like fire hydrants, storm drains, and more. Plus, when combined with new building footprints and land parcels you have powerful, time-saving data a click away. Inspecting utility access and site constraints from anywhere is now even easier with Google Earth. These layers are now available for Professional & Professional Advanced customers on web and Android, with coverage expanding over the coming weeks.
