- Open Google Earth.
- Zoom to the area where you want to overlay your map. For this example, search for “Glacier National Park, USA”. Google Earth will automatically zoom you into the Glacier National Park area.
- You can optionally turn on the Parks/ Recreation Areas layer, which may help you find Glacier National Park. To do this, go the Layers panel on the left-hand side of Google Earth, expand the folder More and then tick the box next to Parks/Recreation Areas.
Find the tools toolbar and the Add menu.
Now, let’s add overlays!
Add an Image Overlay ( Home page ).
Add an Image Overlay
Click the Add Image Overlay button to add a new image overlay. A New Image Overlay dialogue box appears, and a green outline is placed on the Earth.
In the New Image Overlay dialogue box, type in a name for the image overlay in the Name field. In this example, we typed “Glacier National Park Map”.
Copy and paste the link below into the Link field, or click “Browse…” and find an image to add from your local hard drive. A) In this example, we will use the following URL from the Internet:
- Move the Transparency slider to the left to make the image a little transparent, which will assist you in placing the image in the correct location. Use the park boundaries to help you align the park boundaries on the map with the boundaries in Google Earth.
- Use the centre crosshair marker to move the image overlay on the globe and position it in the right location.
- Use the triangle marker at the left to rotate the image for better placement.
- Use any of the corner or side anchors to stretch or skew the selected corner or side. C) If you press the Shift key when selecting this marker, the image is scaled from the centre.
