Overlay a circle, image, KML or Terrain on Google Map Maker
Image from store
Description from store
This extension will allow you to add a circle, image, KML or Terrain overlay on Google Map Maker.
Drawing circles in Google Map Maker can be difficult to get right.
This extension will show a circle overlaid over the map which you can use to trace when mapping circles such as roundabouts.
You have various options you can change to customize the overlay to your liking.
You have the option of overlaying any image and sizing and rotating so it fits where you want it. You can save these images along with the position set for quick loading later without having to get the image in the correct spot again.
You also have the option of adding a KML overlay.
Adds a control at the top left of the map to on and off the terrain map.

- (2016-07-26) Johnnie Hougaard Nielsen: Useful tool, like when making roundabouts look more tidy. I'd like to suggest also having a simple line, to ease tweaking straight routes across a series of existing intersections. Or what about splines to guide smooth curves. Some of these could also be handled by allowing the circle to become an ellipse.

- (2016-05-06) Peter D G: I would love it if I could bet it to work. I cannot get either image or KML to work. Tried a dozen different options. *** Later: OK got it to work by placing the KML in google drive. Wish there was a way to control how thick the line is, but that's OK.

- (2016-01-10) Luis Antonio Alvarado Romero: Perfecto, ahora si.
- (2015-11-19) Альберт Зайнуллин: Circle this is good
- (2015-10-31) J Coleman: Update: I love it. - - - - - - - - - I was very happy to see this; don't understand why Google couldn't give us something similar. Kudos to HannesNZ Software for finally making one. It did help with some circles; my only criticism is that it seems to take a long time to get it set up and situated (maneuvering it about the map, then fiddle with the size & other settings), to where I think it may be faster to not use it, at least for me....but I don't have any suggestions to expedite the process, either. I do hope to see more from them and that they continue to develop it.
- (2015-10-31) JD Scott: Love this app and I will take it gladly as it is. But... I don't know if it is possible for this plug in to directly support the out put from Google "My Tracks" android app. Converting that output for every track is difficult. An alliterative to "My Tracks" that outputs a compatible track would work too. Any ideas?
