How do you show legends on Google Earth?
Adding a Screen Overlay
Copy this text, then switch into your Google Earth window. Click on the KML folder for your project and hit paste. The screen overlay entitled “Legend: Wetlands” should appear in your Places Panel, as in the image below. The screen overlay should appear on Google Earth, as in the image below.
Screen overlays are anchored relative to the screen. Image (ground) overlays are anchored relative to the ground.
Image (ground) overlays can be added with the toolbar button. Screen overlays are added in the KML code.
In the above examples, the legend and logos are screen overlays and the wetland map is a image (ground) overlay.
Can you add a legend to a Google map?
Legends generally describe the symbols and markers on a map. You can create them using the positioning feature of custom controls.
Can you add labels to Google Earth?
Google Earth only displays labels for point features (placemarks). To display labels for line or polygon features in Google Earth, midpoints or centroids for those feature classes must be created as a point layer in ArcMap and imported as a separate layer to Google Earth.
