Scuse me for bein thick...are you hoping to overlay historical data onto a live feed of Google Earth?

I'm not sure that's possible, but you can make your own maps by visiting;

or here;

Hope this helps.

Hey RR

Yes you can do it but I think it's only Vic, anyway you need a particular file which I cant lay my hands on at the moment, but maybe someone else can direct you to where you can download it......

Just an point to remember, in computer lingo it's considered shouting if you type in all caps 8)

cheers

Bazz

Sorry GG I stepped on your post :8 :8 :8

Hey Bazz...no worries, your only trying to help as i was and i did leave it open for others to contribute.

However Bazz & Duck....the files you both speak of......are you saying you can overlay those on a live feed of GoogleEarth?? :/

That would be news to me also.... :8

Ok...QLD members, jump in if you can help RR

Install google earth. Click on this link;

https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=10223

Download the kml file. Open file. Google earth should open up showing the gold mines. Click on the points for more info.

Thanks go to Detrack for sharing the original file.

 

[rhino rt]

thaxs heaps orgone500

[orgone500]

I'm not sure where the original data came from. Detrack might be able to give some details.

Hi guys it can 100% be done I have this on my android phone that i use frequently, I also have the same overlay on my laptop that I was with google earth, it is a .kmz file that I downloaded off the internet then open the file through google earth

I can't remember where I downloaded the file from though rhino, sorry mate, I went searching for it yesterday afternoon but couldnt find it.

If you have a smartphone, in particular an android, I can post the steps on how to load it through google earth on your smartphone.

Cheers

Hey mbasko, yeah I came across this also when I was searching for it but you have to be a member of that forum to download the files and I am only a member of PA. its out there somewhere just need to find it.

Edit: I remember finding the info out here on PA on an old topic, might have to go digging through the archives of Prospecting Australia, its a deep and windy forum, so be careful you may get side tracked and destracted and find yourself a few hours later reading up on something completely unrelated and end up further away from what you were searching for to begin with

There's also Bonzle which I use.

Are the old PA 'black hole' trick, you just peak in to have a quick squiz at something and before you know it you've disappeared for hours. :lol: :lol:

 

[M3talmiliti4]

Thats the one Scrounger, the PA black hole, you have been warned 8)

 

[GypsyGoldAu]

8) ...wow, thanks M3talmiliti4 that's 13Mb. Well, i have downloaded it, so does it automatically o/lap when i start GE, or do i need to embed it onto GE?

Apologies, i'm not over tech savvy myself and don't understand how starting GE links the two together. :8

**EDIT** Hmm, well i opened the kmz file and it sprung into life in GE and had an opened screen with pins everywhere, yet when i typed a location in the search feature, it went to that spot but had lost all the pins...

Guess i need to play with it some more, but will have to wait as i'm nearly out of I/net credit (W/less payg)..

Cheers.
