FiGuRE 17.13 The Geographic Location - Define Geographic Location
dialog box
The dialog box closes and the Geographic Location dialog box opens
(see Figure 17.14). If you have Google Earth installed, you can choose
to import a .kml or .kmz file (Google Earth placemark files) or to
import the location directly from Google Earth.
7. You can define nearly any location in the world as the location for the
current drawing by entering the latitude and longitude in this dialog box.
For your cabin, you'll select the city in which it's located from a map.
8. Click the Use Map button in the top-right corner of the dialog box to
open the Location Picker dialog box, as shown in Figure 17.15.
9. In the Region drop-down list below the map, select the region that
you prefer. Below that, in the Nearest City drop-down list, select a
city within that region. The example here uses North America and
Richmond, VA.
A red cross appears over Richmond (or wherever you've chosen) in
the map. The Time Zone drop-down list displays the accurate time
zone based on the location you selected (see Figure 17.15).
10. Click OK to close this dialog box. If a dialog box appears asking if the
time zone should be updated, click the Accept Updated Time Zone
option. Click OK to close the Geographic Location dialog box.
TIP If a particular city is not listed, you can uncheck the Nearest Big
City option and then click directly on the map to set the location or enter the
longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates in the left side of the Geographic
Location dialog box.
