====== Terrain for Google My Maps ======

Howto put your real world data terrain into google/mymaps. Example [[https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1SibMEatfsVj4a5tqMiRW76iQIS7SvqqF&ll=32.775194901834936%2C50.69198095175636&z=4|PMC ArmA 3 Terrains - Google/MyMaps]].

Step by step:
  - open global mapper project
  - make sure only the user created feature grid box of your terrain is visible, file -> export -> export vector/lidar format -> select export format KML/KMZ. use default export options values
  - go to [[https://www.google.com/mymaps/|Google/MyMaps]] and login (yes you have to login, sorry)
  - click big red/orange button; create a new map
  - mymaps untitled layer click import link, choose a file to import -> upload -> select a file from your computer -> browse to your new KMZ file you created with global mapper
  - click the new untitled polygon shape, it selects your new KMZ area
  - click the new dialog style paint bucked icon, choose red color, set polygon transparency and border width to your liking
  - click edit pencil icon, set a terrain name here
  - now you can click and hold down LMB, then drag the terrain from untitled layer into any layer you prefer (you must create new layers of course)
  - use share to set so other users can view your mymap link without needing to login

The projection between UTM local and google mymaps might skew the terrain box a bit.

On the shared mymaps link, the last bit of "z=?" is the zoom level.
