Google Earth Free Tools, Mashups and Resources

  • Download Google Earth

  • TRI to Earth shows 2004 Toxic Release Inventory facilities on Google Earth and includes links to data and information from EPA.

  • Shape2Earth leverages freely available and easy to use Geographic Information System (GIS) software to create professional visualizations for viewing in GoogleTM Earth. No additional software licensing is required!

  • EarthPlot is a data analysis and visualization tool for Google Earth. EarthPlot processes geographic based data to generate a variety of maps within Google Earth. Data can be imported from several ASCII data formats, in addition to being copied directly from a Microsoft Excel worksheet. EarthPlot is also capable of downloading topographic maps and aerial photographs from Microsoft's TerraServer to supplement Google Earth's imagery. EarthPlot is compatible with all versions of Google Earth - including the free version. The flyover tool plays back flight data or creates tours from a series of coordinates.

  • EarthPaint is a painting and drawing tool for Google Earth. EarthPaint allows the user to create freehand drawings and publish them as Google Earth ground overlays. EarthPaint synchronizes its view with that of Google Earth, and displays a referenced grayscale base map to aid in drawing. Drawing is accomplished using a variety of tools such as a freehand pencil, ellipse, rectangle, polygon, and text tool. When a drawing is complete, a single button publishes it as a transparent overlay to Google Earth.

  • GE-Graph was developed to generate graphs from kml files saved by Google Earth. The data can also be typed into the application or pasted from other applications. The file generated by GE-Graph can be exported to Google Earth.

  • GE-Path: Make Path for GoogleEarth Free Features:

    • Read kml file saved by Google Earth
    • Link the placemarks (simple or arrowed lines)
    • Add sequential numbers and/or append the coordinates to the placemark's names
    • Calculate distances between placemarks
    • Calculate route (bearing) to the next placemark
    • Add distances, routes and/or coordinates to the placemarks description
    • Draw horizontal and/or vertical grids (equally spaced or not)
    • Draw regular polygons around placemarks
    • Calculate path's length/perimeter
    • Calculate the area delimited by several placemarks (or by path waypoints)
    • Save the resulting kml file and export it to Google Earth
    • Save data as txt (comma delimited)(v 1.3.0)
    • Copy from clipboard(v 1.3.0)
    • Export data to Excel(v 1.3.0)
    • Directly input edit data(v 1.3.0)

    • Fill polygon(v 1.3.0)
    • Choose line width for path and polygon(v 1.4.0)
    • Automatic set (and restore on exit) the decimal separator (if necessary)(v 1.4.0)
    • Use of altitude for place names/icons, path and polygons(v 1.4.0)
    • Compatible with Google Earth version 4 (v 1.4.1)

    The users of GoogleEarth Plus and Pro could also use it to calculate area and/or total path distance from saved Path files (kml)

  • KML COLOR CONVERTER - Color mixer, Color picker. Convert color's code to: RGB Hexa. Long VB, HTML CMY, CMYK, HSL and Google Earth KML.
