Overlay a Google map on to Google Earth

[Bazz]

Hey

Can someone tell me if you can overlay a google map on to google earth?

Problem:
I'm investigating a site, in google maps I have got it nailed down but the satellite view is err! not great

But in GE the topo is more defined but the roads and tracks are less....

Can I get there with what I have? - Yes - just trying to get a better idea of what I'm in for

Thanks in advance

Hi Bazz,

Yes you can, I usually overlay a jpg image then stretch/skew/reduce the image to line up the features like rivers/roads etc, I have done this with images of old parish maps, geological and topo maps , its under add/image overlay on the toolbar.

Hi Bazza210

Yeah! Thanks for that, I've got a couple of "old" maps already overlaid, the track into this spot is supposed to be a bit tricky, and on both the googles it shows it as non existant In fact the googles disagree as to which side of the ridge the track is suppose to be: "go figure!"

It's a full day and then some just to get there, so to be turned back in the last 19k, well!!

Cheers
