Exporting annotations to a KML file

The Imaging application allows you to export your workspace annotations in KML format so you can overlay them onto imagery in Google Earth. All annotations in the same folder are exported to the same file.

The following procedure exports annotations only (not images). To export an image as a KML file, see Exporting an image in KML format.

To export your workspace annotations to a KML file:

1. Right-click the Annotations folder that contains the annotations to export.
2. Select Export to KML.
3. Save the file to your hard drive and note the name of the folder to which the file was saved. (Your browser might automatically save the file to the "Desktop" folder, or it might allow you to navigate and choose the folder to download the file to.)
4. When the download is complete, close any open download dialogs.

NOTE: If you have Google Earth installed on your desktop, you can open the exported KML file in Google Earth.
