    Management Units and Forestry Roads

    Ok, I think I have finally figured out how to attach the Google Earth file of all the B.C. management units as well as the forestry roads. If you save this file to your computer and then unzip it, you should have a file called "Roads and Management Units.kmz". You should then be able to open that file in Google Earth and have everything you need to plan your trips this fall.

    I know I posted this info before but at that time I wasn't quite bright enough to figure out how to attach the file to the post.

    If you need a hand figuring it out feel free to PM me.

    Thanks Slim. The MU's I had from another post but the roads is kinda nice. The area I stomp they use "Spur ??" designation. I'm going to have to look closer to see if the maps match the signs?
    Take a kid hunting its more rewarding than shooting an animal yourself!!

    how does that much data get into a 2 kb file? does it link your google earth session to an external data source?

    Yes, it's basically just a link to the B.C. government website database. The beauty of that is, as the foresty road database updates, so does what you see on Google Earth each time you view it.

    Pretty cool feature.
    Is there a way to minimize the road names font ?
    It kind of over powers what you're trying to look at.

    Unfortunately, I think it's pretty much, you get what you get.
