How to create a high resolution Google Earth ground cover. Sharing some of my lessons learned.
| *The PDF files can be viewed with Adobe Reader, however since they are georeferenced you can down load Avenza (aka PDF maps) to your smart phone to view them as well. Since they are georeferenced, Avenza will display a blue dot to show where you are on the map. |
| **FYI: Except for the Tehachapi Tehachapi Townships, and Trails KML files, the other KML don't open in Google Earth on my Android phone. |
