Google Earth ScreenOverlay

Those who often utilize Google Earth might find the need for an overlay tool to help them be more efficient. In that sense, Google Earth ScreenOverlay seeks to address working with legends, as well as adding various image files to KML files.

The scope of the program is to streamline such workflows by providing a convenient way to overlay photos in the screen so long as a KML file is loaded. For convenience, any new changes made will also automatically update the overlay in Google Earth, enabling you to easily preview modifications.

As for the interface, users will have to select a photo, then configure the respective screen and image anchors. The sizing of the respective image can too be modified, as well as its transparency, rotation, and draw order.

Image sizing and anchor values can be in fractions or pixels. In the case of the latter, insetPixels is also another option to consider. Feel free to experiment with your values and see how the overlay appears in your Earth app.

It should be noted that the program is tuned to avoid the built-in controls of Google Earth, so that any added images will not obstruct usability.
