Google Earth + Arcgis Explorer = ?

[AchilleasDrosos]

I try for several days to create a polygon in google earth and open it in Arcgis explorer. Unfortunately there seems to be a big problem in projection systems because i draw the polygon and it appears in a different position...

Please help me...

Can you share the polygon (kml) that you are drawing in Google Earth?

Thanks,
Mark

Here is a sample file you asked . Thank you for your interest,[ATTACH]7416[/ATTACH]


I use greek grid as a projection system in arcgis explorer.

I opened the KML in Google Earth and ArcGIS Explorer 2D (Greek coordinate system) and it looks like it lines up?  Is there more that you can tell me about what you are seeing?

Well this does not work with my installation i use
Google Earth
6.0.3.2197
and arcgis explorer 1700

what settings do you have in map properties ?

i found the solution to this ... if you save the kml file on the desktop and you have greek windows the file does not open correctly.

I think that is happening because the path to the file is something like C:\Documents and Settings\ad709\�?�?ι�?άνεια εργα�?ία�?
