WindPRO 2.9: Configuration of the Google Earth Export

It is possible to export your wind turbine positions (and other data) directly into Google Earth and to let WindPRO maintain a synchronization link - so that if you change anything in the WindPRO maps, then you will immediately also see it also in Google Earth. You will have the option of seeing the data in a browser embedded into WindPRO or as a stand-alone Google Earth instance.

Required Software

The End User License Agreement for Google Earth is available here: http://earth.google.com/intl/en-US/license.html

How to do it

Where to click

Simply click the small Google-Icon in the tool-bar in 'Maps and Objects' to invoke the export.

Please note that when using the embedded Google Earth window within WindPRO, the representations of the turbine models use a generic shape rather than the visual data from the wtg catalogue.
