I've tried exporting a map layer to KML and then opening in Google Earth, which I installed onto my desktop, and I'm wondering if others experience the same issues: 1) It takes a really long time to export to KML. (5-10 min, maybe even longer) 2) It takes a long time for the map to open in Google Earth (more than 5 min. once the KML export is complete and it auto-opens in Google Earth, and it takes even longer if I first open Google Earth and then try to open the KML from within the program) 3) Once open in Google Earth I have to zoom in a lot to get to the right view, and then the map doesn't look anything like the version I had created in Maptitude - the icons are totally different - they're now solid squares in Google Earth, and I've lost the legend. I can't seem to select which city/town names get displayed either. My biggest concern is about the icons though. Is this the same for everyone else?
Assuming one could correct these discrepancies, is this shareable with others who don't have Maptitude and without having to put the KML on a web site? Thanks for any tips and guidance! ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Group: To get a KML file into Google Maps you could follow these steps: 1) In Maptitude choose Tools-Export to export a map layer to KML. 2) Put the KML on a public web site. 3) Follow the Google directions by to write a web page with a Google map widget that includes the KML file: https://developers.google.com/kml/training/ Maptitude Mapping Software http://www.caliper.com Group Moderator ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote: Can you give us more information about sharing Maptitude maps and data in Google maps? I've been trying to figure this out and am not having very much success. I can bring Maptitude layers into Google Earth but not Google Maps.

Maptitude maps can be shared in many static image formats such as JPEGS and Bitmaps, as well as being able to be printed to a PDF driver. This allows you to share your graphics via Microsoft Office for example. Your maps and data can also be shared as Google Maps Documents, allowing interaction and querying via a free Google Maps account, or via the free Google Earth tool.

I have created some good maps with a lot of sets and layers, I want to be able to share these maps with my colleagues. So far I've just been able to take static screen shots. Is there a way to create an interactive PDF, or other format? Or create something I can post on our intranet or sharepoint? I saw the layers2PDF plugin, but the plugin is running into an error when trying to create the folder in my documents.
