Placemarks are the markers showing the location of each test hole on the map. On this page you can determine how these placemarks look on the map:



Icon Size

You can also specify the size of the placemarks. We recommend using sizes of 1 or 2 for placemarks.


Placemark Extrusion

This options allows extruding the test hole locations to certain elevation above the ground surface. The advantage of doing this, is that the placemark will not be covered by trees or other 3D features shown in Google Earth.


Adding Icons to the List

From the list on the left, select the icon used for placemarks. These icons are located in the <NovoGIS Installation Folder>\Data\Icons folder, and you can add more icons to this list by taking the following steps:


1- Manually copy your desired icon file in the above-noted folder. Please make sure the icon size is below 100px x 100px and its format is PNG.

       2- Open the file List.txt located in the same folder. Add the name of the new icon file(s) to the bottom of the list.

       3- Close the program and re-run; You should be able to see the icons in the list.
