Overview

Export data from EQuIS directly into Google Earth using EQuIS for Google Earth if both EQuIS Professional and Google Earth are installed on the workstation. If Google Earth is not installed, export data out of EQuIS as .kmz files, which may be opened separately.

 

Exercise Scenario

We are ready to do some more advanced analysis on our data. First, we want to plot our locations in Google Earth. We then need to add three types of layers to our map to display the results. We want to build the following layers:

•A layer that displays relative concentrations as three-dimensional cylinders of an analyte.

•A layer with contours of concentrations of an analyte at a specific date.

•A pie chart layer that shows the concentrations of multiple analytes relative to each other.

 

•Plot EQuIS Locations in Google Earth

•Add 3D Cylinders to Google Earth

•Add Pie Charts to Google Earth

•Plot Contours in Google Earth

 

Skills, Software and Permissions Required

•EQuIS Professional v6.0 or higher must be installed on the workstation

•.NET Framework 4.0 or higher must be installed on the workstation

•Read permissions are required for the desired facilities

•Most recent version of Google Earth should be installed on the workstation
