Importing your data


Modifying Vector Data Display

When you import point and line vector data into Google Earth, you can determine how you want your data displayed in one of two ways:

  • Apply a unified display across all data - Do this either by applying shared styles across a given folder, or by applying a style template to your vector data. For shared styles, follow the guidelines in Editing Places and Folders for details on setting shared altitude, line, label, and icon properties. Style templates can be applied to your imported data at any point in time.
  • Edit individual data elements or folders - Follow the guidelines described in Editing Places and Folders for information on editing individual placemarks.
