March 14, 2006 - Somerset, NJ – Arc2Earth LLC today announced the launch of their flagship product Arc2Earth v1.0 (A2E).  The tool helps both GIS developers and everyday GIS users access their ArcGIS based data utilization Google Earth (GE).  A2E allows users to publish KML and KMZ files to the GE platform.  This functionality permits users to manage, manipulate and visualize their GIS data layers within Google Earth, making is far simpler and more cost effective to work with their GIS data.

“We are very proud of this first release and have already seen an outstanding response from the GIS community,” stated Brian Flood, President of Arc2Earth. He continued, “When we first downloaded Google Earth, we knew this was the platform to leverage as we search for new and innovative ways to utilize our GIS data.  With the help of our beta program participants, we have been able to launch, functionally speaking, a fairly mature product in our first release.”

Arc2Earth can export data in several different layouts. All of these layouts are useful in different ways from within Google Earth. Some are good for preserving the exact cartographic characteristics of the map and some are better for 3D extrusion and user interaction inside Google Earth. Any of these methods can also be combined together to form complex KML documents.
