![]() ![]() They can all be found in the window that opens when you select File->Settings from the menu bar. The optimum setting for this value depends on the screen size and resolution of target device and the contour density of the exported map trial and error is the best way to find the right setting.Geotag has some aspects that can be configured by you. High values mean that the map must be zoomed in further before minor contours become visible. Low values mean that minor contours will be shown at a relatively low zoom level within Google Earth. The Show at zoom slider controls the visibility of minor contours. A colour can be chosen from the colour picker. To draw all contours in a fixed colour, select Fixed and choose a colour using the colour picker.Ĭheck Separate minor contours to export minor contours in a different colour to major contours. To export colour coded contours, select Palette and choose the required palette from the drop-down list. To export filled isobaths, check the option Isobaths and select a palette from the palette selector.Ĭontours can be colour coded according to their relative depth within the map, or shown in a fixed colour. The alpha channel can be specified in the first byte (two hexadecimal characters) of the colour code and ranges from 00 (fully transparent) to FF (fully opaque). The colour can be set in the colour picker, which also supports transparency. If the map does not have a defined shoreline, then the bounding rectangle of the map contours is filled. If the map has a defined shoreline, then the shoreline is filled. This can be useful to make contours more visible, especially if the background in this location with Google Earth is cluttered. To generate Google Earth maps with coloured backgrounds, as shown in the image at the top of this page, ensure that the map project to be exported is in Vector Mode and isobaths have been generated.Ĭheck the fill shoreline option to fill the background of the map with a solid colour. A map image and associated KML calibration file can be exported using the Export Map Image option in the contour view. Raster backgrounds are not exported via the Google Earth export option. These options are only shown when exporting directly from a map project When exporting user maps, these options are hidden instead, any styling should take place within the user map.ĭifferent contour and background styles as displayed on an Android phone When exporting map projects, there are a range of options available for styling the finished KMZ map. If performance becomes an issue, try cutting maps into smaller parts (using Map Boundaries), and exporting these parts as separate map files. ![]() The size of map that causes problems will vary, depending on the power of the mobile device.
