I'm trying to make a KML that displays the red lines in a similar fashion. I would like to use it for training on setting up satellites for television.
I'm not sure how to create this or what it's called. I know the Azimuth, Altitude and distance information is being displayed. I have been searching for hours and I can't find anything on how to do this or what it is called.

It is a tessellate KML. I needed to increased the altitude for each point manually by editing the file. I was able to achieve the end state this way.

The idea is like the inverse of Ishihara test (http://www.colour-blindness.com/colour-blindness-tests/ishihara-colour-test-plates/).
I want to create with GIMP an image that showing something and then if I add a color layer, for exemple green glasses, then I see something new appearing.
I've searching far in Google and so but didn't found anything. Do you know how would I make this?
The Ishihara tests use the principle of combining things color blind persons cannot differentiate.
Coloured glass filters will only remove other colours from what you see. They don't add something. Therefor it is not possible to create a digital image that contains no information unless seen through a colour filter.
The only thing you can do is overlap your "hidden" information with high contrast colour noise.
Like here:
Using the glasses / filter only improves the visibility. The information is not added. It was always there.
I Have an image for a homepage screen. The top part of the image when clicked should lead to the second tab, the left hand side of the image when clicked goes to the third tab and so on.
Basically geotagging an image , so that i can make areas of the image clickable leading to different tabs
I tried implementing using a map chart where i added an image layer, and added this image. Some solutions asked me to add a marker layer with x,y coordinates but I'm unsure on how to proceed on my image
Kindly help with any alternative solution
it sounds like you want an image map. "geo tagging" is when geographic info like latitude and longitude are added to an image.
your best bet is to use a text area with a table filled with image-type action controls. if you have Photoshop, you can use a technique called Image Slicing to prepare your images.
FYI, this is probably not a simple task, especially if you don't know much about HTML. you may want to consider a different navigation scheme.
if you update your question with more detail about the end result you are trying to achieve, maybe someone can share a more fitting solution. http://mywiki.wooledge.org/XyProblem
Can anyone tell me how I would add a label to the center of a polygon by way of kml like the ones in the link: http://maps.huge.info/zip.htm.. I don't want a marker and I don't need the info to pop up when its clicked, I need it to be there from load, it would just have the zip code for the particular polygon. I wont be drawing the entire US zip code, maybe just a few at a time. Oh, and I'm using mapquest API not google or anything else
Use the Leaflet.label plugin, that does exactly this.
I think I have found an error in GE V7.0.1.8244. I create a KML route file and display it with setAltitudeMode set to ALTITUDE_CLAMP_TO_GROUND. In GE V6.2.2.6613 it displays correctly but in V7.0.1.8244 (currently beta) it does not. Same program source, same data. See attached image here:
.
Any ideas anybody other than installing an other version of GE?
This is clearly a bug in GE 7.0. A few of the elements in the KML test file are out of order but nothing to cause this problem. Even if you drop the altitude values and change altitudeMode to relativeToGround it gets worse not better. Neither DirectX or OpenGL mode makes a difference.
You can report the issue here to get any updates on the problem:

Might be an error in elevation data. You can also see this error in the sample line example if you zoom close to the path.
Only short-term fix is reverting back to GE 6.2.2 if want to view this KML correctly, otherwise, wait for a fix.
UPDATE: Issue in Google Earth issue tracker can be found here.
It does look like a bug, rather than down grading though you could look to use one of the Google Earth extensions - specifically the gx:altitudeOffset element. From the docs...
A KML extension, in the Google extension namespace, that modifies how
the altitude values are rendered. This offset allows you to move an
entire LinearRing up or down as a unit without modifying all the
individual coordinate values that make up the LinearRing. (Although
the LinearRing is displayed using the altitude offset value, the
original altitude values are preserved in the KML file.) Units are in
meters.
This should allow you to raise the path by a meter so that the clipping doesn't occur.
It is also worth noting that...
In Google Earth, a Polygon with an of clampToGround
follows lines of constant bearing; however, a LinearRing (by itself)
with an of clampToGround follows great circle lines.
So perhaps you need to adjust your path to account for this discrepancy?
I'm using Google Earth to display point data as placemarks. The data is on a color-coded scale, and so it's pretty important that they keep their colors (which are set via a series of differently colored icons)
However, Google Earth seems to have a 'feature' whereby it dims some placemarks if they overlap. I can find no reference to this feature, nor any way to avoid it, turn it off, using KML or otherwise.
The question was originally asked here:

Where there are also screenshots of the problem.
Thanks!
