This is how it works:<\/p>\n

– Be sure your map is georeferenced<\/strong> and a coordinate system is set.<\/p>\n

\n– Select the desired extent and click on <\/span>Export<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>– Select which courses\/classes shall be exported. Select multiple courses\/classes by holding the
\nCtrl key or click the Select all<\/strong> button to select all courses\/classes. All courses\/classes will be saved in the same KMZ file.<\/p>\n

– Click on the exported KMZ file. Google Earth<\/strong> will start automatically. You will find a folder for each course in your Temporary Places<\/em> with the course maps and all controls. A PNG file will be created for each course. The controls will be displayed by placemarks.<\/p>\n
