Turns out I was mistaken. I didn't have a local copy, but I it post a set some time ago. This version adds the new overlay and length meaurements. I also noticed an odd detail in the entry area for the pits that resulted in three possible versions. Two add chicanes, but no length. In fact, all use the same pavement. Get it here. |
I completely redid my map of the circuit that Formula 1 and CART used
in downtown Detroit. The new image includes local streets, a scale, and
more. As a result the overlay in this set has been updated. Forum thread: Street racing circuit in downtown DetroitDownload here |
The extra delays were due to problems like issues with my computer
(not Google Earth), me being out of town, and my being surprisingly
sleepy at times when I wanted to work on the set. But it is done.
- All turns on the main track have turn names now.
- All of the original Kart track configurations I listed before now have names.
- Many configurations of the Kart track that I missed are now included. These have names too.
- It
turns out the Kart track is also a SuperMoto track when one or both of
two extensions I didn't see before are added. There are now 46
configurations with those possibilities.

Both use pavement that I saw before, but couldn't figure out how they were used. Now I have that. Forum thread: MonzaDownload here |
I created a brand new SVG for WikiMedia Commons. When I turned it into
an overlay for GE, I noticed that all the existing stuff was off. I
think Google repositioned the imagery. I fixed that. Forum thread: Mazda Raceway Laguna SecaDownload here |
I added an overlay made from a brand new image. I created polygons for
each possible track configuration and got the length of each one. I
also adjusted the position of most placemarks. Forum thread: Layout of Circuit de CatalunyaDownload here |
A Wikimedia Commons user (Mattbuck) gave me some corrections to the SVG
I used for the overlay. That has been updated to match. He also
confirmed that one of the go kart tracks was actually a Rally circuit
and gave me the name of the other circuit. Please give Matt a hand. Forum thread: Track layouts at Silverstone in England Download here |
I found I didn't have a copy. So I downloaded one and found it
horrible. It used the wrong route and had just two objects. I started
completely over. The new version has a corrected route and TWO older
configurations. All three have overlays, placemarks for each turn, and
placemarks for each street used where the track turns onto that street. Forum thread: St. Petersburg Grand Prix (Indy Cars)Download here |
As promised, I have included a new overlay, distances, and even a Kart Track that is part of the same company. Forum thread: Sepang International CircuitDownload here |

Site Map
My name is Will Pittenger. I have been making KMZ sets for Google Earth for a long time. After I starting making those, I wanted overlays for my sets. I was unsatisfied with the accuracy of the images available at Wikimedia Commons. So I started making my own with Inkscape and uploading them. Then I needed a place for anyone that liked my KMZ sets and/or maps to find others. For a while, a simple blog sufficed. But, once I started getting requests, I knew I needed something better. This site is the result. You are welcome to set up an account. Some activities are for registered users only. Take your time poking around and let me know what you think.
