I want to do a visualization in Google Earth and I don't want to see all the different colours of the satellite images. Instead I'd like just the outline of the continents/coastlines, maybe a colour distinction between land and water, but that's it. Is there a way to set Google Earth so it doe this? I don't want any textures, just solid colour preferably. Like the ocean floor, I'd like to not see that. Same with land, just one colour would be preferable. |

You will need a KML file of the world borders as polygons. A quick Google turned up this Which seems to be pretty much what you want. I'm not sure if there is a water polygon in that dataset, so you may still have the sea floor. If that's the case, you'll need to import the KML file into something like Quantum GIS, create a rectangular polygon covering the whole world, and subtract the country polygons from it. Then export it back as KML and load it into GE. |

A global image overlay file is one method. I have no experience of this company, but their product seems to be what you need and they have different styles from around $5 |
