OK, this is driving me nuts. I went to USGS and followed the video tutorial they have. I went step-by-step with their video but all it is offering as a download format is a TiFF file or an imag file. I can not get it to offer the DEMs in a .zip form. One video a format for zip file but it doesn't appear on my options. Any thoughts on this?
Thank you Brickrail, I followed your suggestion and the DEMS loaded with ease. I was very pleased with how it came together.
After I had the DEMs loaded and had my API, I went to my TS2020 and set up the downloading of the Google map. That was yesterday, I had my route building open and the multiple circles went into action so I stepped away to let it do its thing. I came back 5 hours later and it was right where I left it. I thought it might keep moving over the terrain as the maps showed up. After the 5 hours, there were no signs of any mapping. I figured it was stalled so I shut it off for the time being. The area I have been laying out is for a 147 mile line. I don't know if this is a problem. I tried it again this morning and after an hour there is still no sign of a google map. I am sure I am leaving something out here. Any Ideas?
Here is where I'm at. I have the API Key registered and I copied it. I opened TS 2020 Then I opened the setting tab. I next clicked on tools and went to Google maps. I clicked on that. I went to the top of the page were it says " google maps AIP KEY' I had copied the key code but that box wont allow me to past it in. I'm just sitting here chomping on rolaids trying to figure out what to do next.
I have an API Key code account registered with Google but everytime I go to TS2020 and then into settings and tools, then Google maps. That being done, I have the area in the top that says Google maps API Key, I try to paste the Key but it doesn't allow pasting to that box. The only thing I can think of is that it I may have failed to set up Static maps or something like that.
In one of the above replies, Brickrail1782 said it may have to do with the billing set up. I am thinking that may be the problem because, in the process of getting a Key code, there was something about billing and I skipped past it. So I went back to that location and I signed into cloud console and I used my credit card for the trial period. I hope I was in the right location. Anyway, although it said I was activated, it is maybe taking a while to complete because I still only get the blue curcles. As a special note, I originally tried numerous times in the past, to load the overlay map to no avail, so I tried creating a new route with a different Key code. I still didn't get in. So now I ask, if I have two routes entered at the same long. and lat. would the original Key code apply to both of the routes or does each route have it's own key?
I will be starting a new thread restart this on a different path I know now it has to do with my settings and one problem could be in the fact that I can't copy and past my ApI key into the settings box. Also, I think there is a step in the new windows 10 security that may have to be shut off to download the map. https://steamcommunity.com/app/24010/discussions/3/1697175413689002767/?ctp=2 Anyway. I have restarted a new post under. Message With My Api Key.
