People have witnessed fantastical creatures in every corner of the globe, and in our effort to mirror the real world as completely as possible, we have decided to start including these eyewitness reports on the map.

We were surprised at how many reports we received, so today we’re adding a new feature to Google Maps and Earth: Real-World Sightings. My friends at Google agreed, and so we asked users from around the world to share stories of the strange and delightful things they’ve seen. I made it to Nessie’s place in Boston safely and got to thinking: the world must be full of magical stories like this.

We can then unlock the one that is in relief, we delete it and we click outside. Then we delete our plan and activate our relief. We then double click to enter the component, select our terrain, right click to “Unlock” as it was locked. But we also see that it was imported with a black and white Google Map (SketchUp 7). If we activate the relief, as we saw in the previous tutorial, then we can see that it is referenced to the right height. It has in fact been geo-located to the right height. We see a little further on, that a building “flies”. In our example, we have 104 buildings nearby. Don’t forget that there are several pages of results. We then have all the buildings that are next to the geo-referenced origin. We’ll click on it, and choose “Models Nearby”. Once the component window is open, we will click on the house.
