User Guide

• Format the route line weight and color by selecting 'Style/Color' below the name section. You can
change the color and thickness of the line here - it's useful to do this first as it's sometimes to see the
route in the default format when you first start plotting. This is also how you would color code
whatever color you want to assign the route.
• Start plotting points. Click on the map where you want to start the route. Keep clicking to draw out
the entire route to the final destination. You will probably need to zoom in/out as you progress
along the route & try and keep it overlaid on the road as tight as possible.
• TIP: If you incorrectly plot a point or want to adjust a point, just click on it using the left mouse
button to indicate to Google Earth this is the point you want to move (i.e. select the point
first). Once selected, click it again and hold to drag it into the position you want it to.
• To DELETE a point, put mouse over the point and right click - this will automatically delete the
point. If you make any mistakes try to edit them right away as it can get complicated if you try and
edit a point you made a long time ago, the lines start crossing each other a lot and it can get messy.
• Once you've plotted your entire route, make sure you've named the route line and color coded it
how you want - from here you can select the 'OK' button in the bottom right hand corner of the
dialogue box that originally appeared when you started to plot the route.
• After clicking OK, you should see it appear in the folder for the route. If it somehow ends up outside
of that folder, again just select it and drag it into the correct folder you want.
7. Save to .KML - As mentioned, try and create all the POIs and route overlays into a specific routes/route
folders. When done building out the route or all the routes and are ready to save, I recommend saving
each route individually as a .KML as this gives you more flexibility when wanting to subtract/add routes.
• Click to highlight the route folder you want to save/export, then go up to 'File' and select 'Save', then
'Save Place As'. Save dialogue box will appear, save this file into a separate folder where you have
you other files related to the project.
• TIP – We recommend limiting the file name length that you save the file. Example, if you have 10
routes, i would save them as 0.kml, 1.kml, 2.kml etc. – The files with short names (1 or 2 characters)
work best with LandAirSea’s ® SilverCloud® Software accounts.
