Reed, If I remember correctly, exporting GE imagery and then georeferencing it into another GIS is against the user agreement and is a copyright violation.. There is a plug in for ArcGIS called Arc2Earth (https://www.arc2earth.com/) that allows you to put GE imagery into Arc. It is a yearly subscription that essentially allows you to license the GE imagery. Only the current GE imagery is accessible from the Arc2Earth servers so you cannot do time line imagery effects. As mentioned, ESRI background maps > Imagery is similar to GE and avoids the expense associated with Arc2Earth Cheers, Dave On Tue, Jul 19, 2016 at 11:58 AM, Sims, Reed - NRCS, Colchester, VT < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hello, > > I have a user inquiring as to whether they could somehow export or capture > the great 2015 imagery they see for Vermont in Google Earth, and use this > imagery in ArcMap for conservation planning they want to do. > > > > Three questions on whether this is possible: > > 1.
