This may display as a “you are here” marker without any trail or other info displayed. The collection has been developed primarily for desktop computers running Windows or Mac OS, though it’s been demonstrated to work in Linux, tablet computers, iPads, mobile devices, etc.Ĭell phone reception rarely works in the gorge, but if your device is GPS-enabled you may still have GPS reception. If you intend to navigate in the gorge using mobile device apps like Google Earth or MAPS.ME, you may run into a situation where your app knows where you are, yet can’t get data reception to stream the LGMAPS Collection to your device. Once you have Google Earth you just need to download the LGMAPS Collection KMZ file and open it in Google Earth. It’s free! Note that starting in 2015 the “Pro” version is also free, and is the better option if your operating system is supported. If you haven’t already you’ll first need to install Google Earth. Technical support and other questions can be directed to LGMAPS. The LGMAPS collection was created by Kevin Massey in 2014 to help the gorge community access the work of individuals, institutions, and agencies who create LGW-related material.
For some maps you’ll also be able to download alternate formats such as images and GPX files.
Google Earth gives you the ability to rapidly browse the collection, explore the gorge in 3-D, and print custom maps and PDF’s. The map collection is integrated with the LGMAPS website, and will load pages from the site when you request more information on a map from within Google Earth. The collection is always growing, and with automatic updates you’ll always be sure you have the latest edition of almost every gorge map available.ĭownload the LGMAPS Collection for Google Earth This is the best way to easily access dozens of Linville Gorge maps covering a wide variety of topics.
