![]() ![]() ![]() Above the map is a series of icons depicting tools that can be used on your map.You can also click and drag the map to move around. You can change the orientation of your view, move the map around to view the different areas around your searched location, change your view from aerial to a view from the street, and to zoom in and out, respectively. On the right side of the screen there are four tools listed vertically that can be used to change your view.This will give you an aerial view of the specific location you are searching for. Enter in the location (either a business or building name, address, GPS coordinates or even a crossroad will work) you would like to view and select search. From here you can search for a specific location. There is a side bar located on the left side of the screen.Close out of this window to use Google Earth. This can assist you in using some of the Google Earth features and map controls and aid you in navigating the program. When Google Earth is opened, a Start-Up Tip window will be in the foreground. Select All Programs and locate Google Earth. To use Google Earth, open the start menu.This will begin the download process and the installation should begin and finish on its own. A window will appear asking if you want to run the file, select Run.Check the bottom left side of the window for an icon that reads “GoogleEarthSetup.exe”, select it to open the file. ![]() This will take you to a “Thank You” screen that tells you the download should start automatically. Read over Google Earth’s Privacy Policy and Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service. In the search bar at the top of screen type. This depends on the zoom factor.By Steve Higgins, Michele McHugh, and Lee Moser Turbine positions in GE are sometimes displayed by 3D models and sometimes by icons. If you have checked everything and still see significant offsets, then please send a sample project to WAsP support for inspection. If you choose the right projection but false datum, you may see differences on the order of 100m. I am not sure how big these should be before it is alarming, but I think you can expect precision around 10 m. I must admit that I too have observed differences between the turbine positions displayed in Google Earth and turbines visible in the GE satellite images. This must be done before you load the data into WAsP as described above. you can use ‘Set map projection’ to provide missing information on projection and datum but not to fix a difference between map and turbine coordinates. As far as I know WAsP will not try to translate the map relative to the turbine positions, i.e. You can right-click on the map and select ‘Set map projection’ if the projection or datum is unknown, but sometimes projection is included in the map information coming from the Map Editor. WAsP needs to know the applied map projection and datum in order to make a translation before displaying the information correctly in Google Earth. When you input the aligned data, the turbine positions should display correctly inside WAsP. This can be done outside WAsP using either the Map Editor (tools>transform>projection) for the map, or the WAsP Projection Transformer (File>transform XYZ file) for the turbine positions. If not, you must either transform the map or the turbine site list. Still, I will keep this general advice, for other readers at this forum.įirst it is important that turbine positions and the map inside WAsP apply the same projection and datum. While writing these I also saw your email to WAsP support and realized that you might have a problem with the WAsP installation. ![]()
