RockWorks | Utilities | EarthApps Menu
Use the programs in the Utilities | EarthApps menu to read spatial data from the datasheet and generate Google Earth KML/KMZ files which illustrate the map locations, display floating or draped images, run flyover tours, and more. The output can be loaded automatically in Google Earth, if requested.
These tools are summarized below. Click on the links or images to jump to topics with more information.
(! These programs require installation of Google Earth on your computer. Google Earth is not installed with RockWorks. Visit www.earth.google.com for download and licensing information.)
