[Nhcoll-l] Google Earth fix?

[Rios, Nelson]

Hi Doug,

Google maps are the default in geolocate, but if you click the little plus sign in the top tight corner there will be options for different layers and overlays one of which includes a county lines overlay (see attached).  The county outlines do disappear at the higher zoom levels, but we plan to adjust that in the next month or so to scale all the way down.
Another option for Google Earth, might be to download a shape file for the county outlines and convert to KML which google Earth should be able to read.
 
Best,

Nelson

We've looked at this site in the past, but Geolocate uses Google Earth base maps, and also does not show county lines any more. If you can figure out a way to see county lines on a web display using GL, I'd like to know the trick.

Peace,
