That does work, but I had to turn off the 3D Buildings layer as well.
The color of the polygon has to contrast with the roads which are white
and yellow. I'll remember this. Probably going to be a useful hack
someday.
Thanks.

The skyview is the bottom layer, so if you create an opaque polygon
overtop of the entire area and set it to the bottom layer you will
only see roads/names and your pins/polygons.

this is what we did then took a paper cleaver to tape it together
manually.
turns out GE is not god for this project, we needed the roads and not
the terrain
I cant find any way to get GE to just do the roads and not satellite
imagery
We exported to Google Maps, which does it nice (labels dont show)
even lets me do a square lasso, but doesnt let me do anything with
multiples

I have made some really large high res images from GE but it was
not easy.
* You to make sure you have the tilt set so you are looking
straight down.
* Make sure you have a zoom that will work to stitch together
all the images.
* Zoom too much and you have too many images to stitch.
* Zoom out too far you you lose the detail you want.
* Check all the resolution and other options in the “Save Image”
feature of GE.
* Save the image and note some landmark.
* Use the arrow buttons to move things around keeping the
landmark still in view on the edge.
* Save the next and pick a new landmark etc etc.
* Make sure there is decent overlap in each image using landmarks.
* Then use the image composite editor to stitch them all together.
Took me quite a bit of bit of trial and error to get the
individual images overlapping and such that ICE could stitch them.
If you touch the zoom or tilt, you will have to start over. If
you change resolutions you will have to start over.
Also there are a couple of options in ICE you need to choose.
Don’t recall what they are at the moment but seems like “scan” was
one of them. It flattens the perspective I belive.

IMO Google Earth is super weird about things like this.
In the current version you can ctrl+click to select multiple
objects in the left hand pane.....but for many years you would
have had to move one point to a folder at a time. They added a
circle tool at some point, but that's another one that was
inexplicably missing for years.
You still can't make multiple selections from the map view. Not
by ctrl+click or shift+click and not by dragging a box around
objects.
It's possibly the most convenient tool for /viewing/ GIS data
(within it's performance limits), but it's awkward at manipulating
or creating it.

Create a folder for each region.
Put all your pins for that region in the folder.
Right click on the folder and select properties.
Select Style, Color tab.
Under Icon select the the Color you want and it will change
all pins to that color.

You can select the ones you want in a group and change

we have 150 customers to swap out, we have

A. print google earth map with the

pages taped together
B regionate and group the pins in each region
I assume if we had a right proper GIS this
would be a snap, but im lost.
