A rapid model of 30 St Mary Axe in London with Google Maps overlayed in Google Earth. The air photography of London is low resolution at the current moment, thus the need to overlay the streets with imagery from Google Maps. The map placement is approx 5 metres out but it illustrates a good proof of concept. Google Earth is also rendering the edge profile the building, this should be sorted in a few days.

Thanks go to the overlay creator at Google Map Overlays

A week since the last post – so an update on what we are up to.

It is now possible to import your own buildings into Google Earth – as shown above. We are working on this with regards our various models, one of which is the main University Campus. Originally built in Sketchup (see below) we have been able to import it direct to Google Earth.

Linking in the info we have from our previous post with regards Google Maps, its also possible to embed panoramas into Google Earth.

Direct links to the .kmz files will follow asap…

Another test of the Google Map system, this time using Community Walk . Panoramas and info are hotlinked on the map.

It also includes full directions to and from each panorama.
