Open Google Earth and zoom into the rough location of the antique map. For example, is it a neighbourhood in a city, or an entire country, or somewhere in between? You can use an Ontario road map as an example for this exercise Save a select and save a scanned and digitized map to your local computer drive and familiarize yourself with its geographical location. Google Earth will be used as a backdrop to overlay and digitize historical maps. Requirements: Google Earth Pro (desktop program) installed and an image file (e.g.: JPEG, TIFF) of an historical map or an aerial image. PDF version: Georeferencing and digitizing scanned maps in Google Earth Georeferencing and digitizing scanned maps in Google Earth Please note that it is not currently (July 2023) possible to add images to the browser-based version of Google Earth. I don't know how the Google satellites work, so it might not even be possible to add a day/night setting with our current technology.This help guide outlines the process to georeference (geographically place on the surface of the earth) a scanned map or aerial image and digitize features from it in Google Earth Pro, a desktop software. For example, you could set it to midnight setting, and everything would be dark and windows would be glowing. One thing that would be cool is adding a function where you could change the time of day. Overall, it's amazing, and I fully recommend it to any geography or history nerd. ![]() For two, places like China, Russia, and North Korea obviously aren't 3d because those countries dont give us permission to analyze there country at every angle thousands of times (for good reason). For one, most of the non-3d areas are random countryside's or small towns, which makes sense, as it would take so much effort to turn a tiny little town in the middle of Canada to 3d, and it's not worth it. Unfortunately, the whole world isn't 3d, but that makes sense for multiple reasons. This is a great app and I'd recommend getting it. And yes, even though I didn’t pay anything I still feel shortchanged. I now know that if I had a desktop I’d be able to look at the moon and mars so I feel really gypped now. Overall really great concept but what I’m gathering from other reviews, the app particularly for iPad is super low quality compared to others. It is absolutely impossible to tell one country/state from the next with the impossibly thin tan line separating everything that, oh yea, is the same color that is used for most of the landscape. ![]() Also, it would be really enjoyable (and easier on my old lady eyes) to be able to make borders bold or different colors or even cut out a region to view it individually. You can’t adjust any type of visual settings so if you zoom too far in on, say, China, you get a million different location names in English and Chinese and you can’t even see the land under all the text. I am terrible at geography and thought this would help me with a class I’m taking but I was mistaken. It’s like they took what they were in the process of developing years ago and just threw it up without even looking at it for a quick review. It takes a lot of disappointment for me to write reviews but this app is just so flat. Not Even Basic App Comforts (2020 iPad Pro) ![]()
