<br>
<br>
As part of our normal routine for georeferencing legacy material,
I and others here who work with specimen data capture use Google
Earth. Much of this activity was curtailed during the pandemic,
and we're just now getting back to some of this. It's come to my
attention that - evidently - Google Earth no longer shows the
boundaries of counties in the US.
<br>
<br>
State boundaries, yes, zip code boundaries, yes, but there used to
be county boundaries and county names, and they appear to be
entirely gone now. This promises to entail a significant addition
to the time required for us to properly capture data, and in some
cases will make assignment to county impossible, when a point maps
along a road that crosses a county line (e.g., we need to data
capture three points along Hwy 380 between Bingham and Carrizozo,
NM, and somewhere between those towns there is a county line
between Socorro and Lincoln counties - but it's invisible). Yes,
points mapping to a town or named place are generally fine, but
points along roads often require a visual confirmation as to which
side of a county line they are on, and that can't be done if
Google Earth has permanently removed county lines from their
display.
<br>
<br>
I'm sure we're not alone in having made extensive use of this
feature, and wanting to have it back. Short of a massive
letter-writing campaign to Google Earth admins, does anyone know a
fix for this?
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,
<br>
<br>
