The easiest way to add roads with GE Plus?

light_warrior · 07-14-2005, 04:48 PM

I have GE Plus and I'm trying to work out the easiest way to add a road, so it looks almost like the standard GE overlay roads (on the bottom left, but it doesn't have Australia yet) I live in Australia and I want to map the Adelaide CBD and southern Adelaide as well.

Thanks, I love this forum!

Offhand, I would say that paths would probably be the easiest. "Add" --> "Path", draw some points, name the road, add another path, draw some points, name the road, etc. You can choose the pixel width and colors, so you could make it appear rather similar to the build in GE roads. Not sure how you could get the name to display on the map without doing a bunch of image overlays or something, though.

I'll be interested to hear other thoughts on this.

The way Google works, I would say they will add this to GE pretty soon

twood would be really handy to add roads and be able to put directions and an inbuilt algorithm would find out the easiest route
