QuickMap allows QuickMap layers to be overlayed in Google, or Google Earth photography to be pasted into QuickMap.

 

To overlay QuickMap in Google Earth:

 

Select the Google Theme which will ensure the parcels and NZ Layers are hollow.  Otherwise, adjust symbology to meet individual requirements.

Google images are not ortho rectified so it may be necessary to realign boundaries

 

 

NOTE:  It is important to NOT save QuickMap overlays in the Temporary Places or My Places folder. 

 

To save a file, open out the folder, right mouse click on QuickMap 2 Google Earth and select Save As.  This will provide the opportunity to save the file as a .kmz file which can then also be emailed.
