Default Google Earth WMUs

Hello,

I have converted the boundaries of the WMUs in Alberta so they can be seen in Google Earth. I was hoping to have the list a bit more organized than it is, but I figured I should just share this as I don't know when I will have time to pretty it up.

https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B0A...thkey=CNC-9sUL

I am also working on creating a base map for Garmin units. I hate the idea of having to pay $150 for backroad maps to have public data. Any how when I have it complete I will post it here as well.

Let me know if there are any errors or additional details that may need to be added.

Cheers,

Chris

It should be there. Unfortunately one of the prettying up duties was to organize them by Mountain, Prairie etc. and colour code them. I will have to get that done for the next release I guess.

I'd like to add the Canmore no hunting areas as well at some point. Just have to find the data.

This is so seriously awesome! I've been working on this on and off in my "spare" time at work for my personal mapping. I've only got the southern most part of the province done for the most part.

Did you digitize this heads-up, or use another method to construct the boundaries?

DarkAisling,

I used a boundary .shp file from the Gov of AB and converted it to a .kml. Then went through and labeled all the zones manually in GE.

Thanks for sharing first,
I found two WMU 429 and one of them should be WMU 428.
Cheers

430, not 428.

Where did you get the shape files for the boundarys? Are they on a website? Have you ever played with globalmapper, you can open up shapefiles with it much the same as ozi, but you can then load them directly on your gps with it

Hey Guys,

I'm taking absolutely no credit for this, but I organized the file into numerical order and fixed the WMU 430, thing. The file can be found at:

http://www.tbeckett.net/images/KMU/Alberta WMU.kmz

Feel free to download it and I'll delete the file if CSC asks.

Cheers,
