Google Earth Application

Client:

The BROE Group

Pupose:

The BROE Group approached DDS to develop an alternative to paper-based maps for right-of-way management. BROE wanted a simple method to illustrate stakeholders adjacent to right-of-ways managed by BROE.

Processes/Services:

The BROE Group provided assessor maps for six (6) counties in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska and their rights-of-ways. DDS scanned, georeferenced, and digitized all parcels within one (1) mile of BROE right-of-ways. The layers were digitized, attributed, and symbolized in ESRI's ArcGIS. The layers were exported to Google Earth KMZ format to be distributed internally.

Deliverable to Client:

Google Earth KMZ files.
