Use the search bar to locate your property or the area where you want to draw lot lines.
Zoom in until you see gray lines, which are property lines.
Click on the Draw a Line tool (a squiggly line icon) and select Add line or shape.
Click around your property to draw the lot lines. Connect the points to outline the property, and double-click to finish the shape.
Name your shape (e.g., “My Property”) and save it.
2. Export the Property Lines as a KML File
Once you’ve drawn your property lines in Google Maps, the next thing you need to do is export them as a KML file, which Google Earth can read.
- Click on the three dots next to the layer name on the left-hand side of the map.
- Select Export to KML/KMZ.
- If you want to save the file to your computer, just choose the Download option. If you have multiple layers, make sure you select “Entire Map.”
3. Import the KML File into Google Earth
Now that you’ve got your KML file, it’s time to bring it into Google Earth to view your lot lines.
Open Google Earth on your desktop (you can download it from the Google Earth website if you haven’t already).
- Click on File in the top menu and select Open.
- Locate the KML file you just downloaded and select Open.
- You’ll now see your property lines on Google Earth, so you can explore the boundaries in more detail in 3D.
Unfortunately, you can’t view lot lines in Google Earth by default, but with just a few steps using Google My Maps, you can create and visualize property lines with ease.
This method is not only practical but also a great way to get to know your property boundaries. If you have any questions or run into any issues during the process, just ask!
