Click “ Import All” for the Data Import warning popup.
select the counties.shp file, and click “ Open“.
Navigate to the folder of the extracted county shapefile and make sure to select ESRI Shape (*.shp) from the drop down menu next to the file name.
Download the US County shapefile and extract it onto a local folder.
This tutorial takes you through the steps of importing a US County shapefile into Google Earth (pro), and extruding the counties based on a given attribute. The traditional choropleth maps have now become ubiquitous, and at times not as revealing, as other forms of visualizations may tell a more compelling story from the data provided. Not only can it help you locate yourself and important places around you, it offers the function to share your location with others and even show reminders of hotel or flight check-ins.Southern California, Florida and parts of Texas show a dominant number of Hispanics Google Maps has become a ubiquitous part of most smartphone users. Google has made a bunch of changes to its maps recently including expanding its ‘Explore’ section to make it easier to find restaurants. “The first launch of Maps actually did not use Mercator, and streets in high latitude places like Stockholm did not meet at right angles on the map the way they do in reality,” explained a Google employee in 2009. Google Earth is a free program from Google that allows you to fly over a virtual globe and view the Earth through high-resolution graphics and satellite. Google went with the Mercator system originally because it helped preserve the angles of the roads. The classic example of this is that on a Mercator map, Greenland appears larger than Africa, however on a scaled globe map Africa is 14 times larger. It means that objects around the equator appear at a relative scale to one another, but it also means that objects closer to the poles appear larger than they really are. Although this makes it really easy to print out a map, it also presents a really distorted image of the Earth. Until the upgrade, Google Maps used Mercator projection, which projects the planet onto a flat surface. Just zoom all the way out at ? /CIkkS7It8d With 3D Globe Mode on Google Maps desktop, Greenland's projection is no longer the size of Africa.
