    BC Wildlife Management Units in Google Earth

    Hello,

    I don't know if any of you're interested or not, but I have added the BC Wildlife Management Units to Google Earth.

    EDIT

    Here is a link to the file: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0A...W1mQXc0QlJsY2s

    These can be added to your GPS using the method outlined in this post:

    http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/showthread.php?t=71223 page 2 I think

    Slinky Pickle has added another source for the file a few posts below if you are unable to download from Google Docs.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Being a bit long in the tooth (getting old) (but not necessarily mature ) I have to ask....What's a torrent? Maybe you could send me the file. I'd appreciate it.

    I had to save it as a zip file because web browsers wanted to open the file instead of saving it.

    I hate to sound stupid but i've never been very good at GE. What do i click on to get the MU's to show. The original program i had worked okay quite some time ago until the government decided to screw it up to improve it.

    This program works well but there is a feature that is annoying. Once the MU is dispayed on the map everytime you click to zoom in or out the bubble pops up saying what mu you are in and you have to click it off. It gets very old having to do this 50 times if you are researching an area. Any way to stop the MU bubble from popping up everytime?

    Hello,

    I have refined the file. It now scrolls smoothly and as lmw noted it had popups with every click(those are gone). As well I have uploaded it on Google Docs for those that had torrent issues.

    Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0A...W1mQXc0QlJsY2s

    Maybe Slinky Pickle could host the file as well?

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Hey CAC

    Thank you for the help and for me personally it couldn't have come at a better time. I have been trying to sort out my LEH areas for this year quite a bit lately. I have 2 monitors and always have both google and mapsource open simultaneously to figure out the MU's.

    Cheers

    Great Job CAC! that is quite a lot nicer than the version on the BC Gov weblink.
