Great I am an Architect took me 3 days to grasp. Thank you. Life Saver

Thanks so much for the feedback and so glad it was helpful!

This was perfect for requirement. I publish maps for golf courses. Would have never figured that out by myself - NOT intuitive. Thank you!

[@gissolutions4604]

You are more than welcome, thanks for the feedback!

[@Lucaslfm1]

This is amazing!!! Thank you so much!

[@gissolutions4604]

You're so welcome!

Is it possible to take only the contour lines and paste it above the map? In a way that the contour lines would appear with the satellite image as a background, without interference from the colors.@@gissolutions4604

Thanks for this - brilliantly easy to follow and great process steps. One question - as I work mainly in Earth Pro - is there a way to bring the contour labels back to GEP as labels on the contour lines?

[@gissolutions4604]

Thanks so much for the feedback and question. There's a QGIS Plugin called "Layer 2 KMZ" that'll allow you to export the vector layer with labels in a KMZ file that you can then use in GEP.

that was so well explained! thanks for sharing

[@gissolutions4604]

I'm so glad to hear, thanks for the feedback!

title says google earth but you are using QGIS?

[@gissolutions4604]

yep!

[@Jessica_Jessica_Jessica]

The very first step, add a shapefile, doesnt appear as a button in my Google Earth Pro? It says add a polygon, but the window that pops up looks different

[@Jessica_Jessica_Jessica]

Oh, you're using QGis

[@Jessica_Jessica_Jessica]

How did you get Google Satellite on your QGis?

Please check out this video I did not too long ago about adding different basemaps to QGIS - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kF7YZXSfec9pjqM

I couldn't even finish watching this video because I don't know how to pull up the satellite view into QGIS, for a beginner this video was not helpful of me.

Here's a link to a video I did not too long ago on how to add a satellite view in QGIS - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kF7YZXSfec9pjqM
