Did you know you can get Google Earth Pro for free? With it you get the following features not in the standard version.

Movie Maker Integration

Geographic Information System (GIS) data import tools

High-resolution printing capability

US parcel, demographic and traffic data layers

Automatic generation of "superoverlays" for very large image files

Automatic region generation of large point and vector datasets

Area measurement

Here is a link and instructions to download the Pro version.

Well, well, well….another useful tool to learn.  Thanks

Is that spot near Gemini Bridges a "designated site" though? Not supposed to camp along that road except in sites designated with a brown post and tent symbol

I wanted to add a trick I use for those times when I forgot to start the route tracker (or the phone can't handle tracking too) …

If you have location history on Google Maps turned on on your smartphone (Android for sure, not 100% sure on iOs), you can export a day to KML.

The steps are simple:

  1. Go to https://www.google.com/maps/timeline?authuser=0&pb
  2. Choose a day
  3. Click on the gear icon
  4. Export to KML
  5. Enjoy
