How to import Google image in to ArcGis10 and Georeferencing the image and assign coordinating system (Part I )

            In this tutorial I will show you how to export Google image to ArcGIS 10. Some time it is difficult to find out maps in study area. To overcome this problem we are referring to Google earth but we are facing a difficult to take these images to Arc GIS 10 with georef.

First go to Google earth and find out your study area.

Make Ground Control Point.

         Ground control point is identifying location and prominent location to match both maps images. In this exercise we will zoom to required location and make points in four corners. First make folder in Google window and add 4 x Grounder control points into it and save it as kml

Right click – Add –Folder—Give a name to folder

Mark four Ground control points in Google map and save it in above folder

Save this folder as .kml file. Right click on the folder – Save as –

File name – Give a name to this folder

Save as type – kmz (*.kmz)

Now you have to save the Google image as a .jpg image. File – Save – Save image

Now go to ArcGIS 10 and start with new project. Assign your relevant coordinate system to project
