EagleView KMZ Files in HelioScope

HelioScope uses both Google Maps and Bing Maps, but high-resolution images can be imported from other providers. Users with an EagleView or CONNECTExplorer account can easily upload photos and high-resolution imagery into HelioScope using KML files. The following guide describes saving and uploading a geo-located KML file from EagleView.

Inside EagleView

1. Search for the project location site in EagleView.
2. Set the view to straight up and down by clicking the small black dot under the compass (top-right of the screen).
3. Click Preferences and scroll down to Export Image file type to KML (LatLonBox).
4. Click the exit door icon on the bottom right of the page to save the high-resolution image.
5. Export just the visible area or the entire image.

Inside HelioScope

1. Create a project in HelioScope based on the same address as before.
2. Navigate to the Advanced tab and select Overlays.
3. Drag and drop or select the KML file created by EagleView.
4. Toggle the overlay on and off using the eye button.
5. The updated image can be used as a base for designs and will be included in the final report if Overlays are selected.
