Analyze data layers

Once you add data layers to your Google Earth project, you can apply filters to visualize the data you care about. Filters are automatically saved to your project as you add or adjust them.

Apply a filter

You can filter a layer in your project based on the attributes available in the layer.

Inspector panel with filter tab open

Select a data layer in Map contents to open the inspector panel on the right. Select the Filter tab in the inspector to adjust filters.

  1. In your project's Map contents, select the data layer you want to adjust.
  2. In the inspector panel on the right, select the Filter tab to show the available filters for that layer.
  3. Adjust the filters. The map updates with the applied filter.

You can also filter multiple layers on the map at the same time. To filter another data layer, repeat steps 1–3.

To reset all filters applied to a specific layer, select Reset filters in the bottom right corner of the inspector.
