    PLS CADD, Google Earth and the Web
    This blog is to give information, tips and tricks on to make your Overhead Line Design
    simple and presentable. It also includes topics on how to generate a profile of a
    certain or proposed OHL route without even going to the site. The precision of the
    profile over actual detailed survey, we can say 80%-90% depending on the location of
    the route itself.
    With the OHL Angle Point or Point of Inflections (AP's or PI's) as usually given,
    this will be our starting points of all the workings. But if it is not yet defined, let say if
    you are still on the planning stage, the best thing to do is to open your Google Earth
    Program (it is a free software by Google - to download just google it anyway and you
    will find the download link), and there you can define the best route of your OHL.
    Now with the aid of your PLS-CADD software by Power Line Systems, you can even
    refine that defined route to consider the route axis profile and the side profiles. But
    HOW? with thousand of point needed this could not be done easily. But there are
    some ways to do it simple and effortless.
    Going back to Google Earth, there is one feature that if you're defining a path, there is
    an option that you can also draw the profile with in the Google Earth itself, and this is
    the information we need to extract and make it usable in the PLS CADD Software. But
    in some countires like the US, where they have the USGS, topographical information
    of a certain area in the US itself are readily available and can be used in the PLS
    CADD, however where areas that does not have such agencies that can provide such
    information, the methods which we are trying to elaborate are essential and applicable
    anywhere around the world.
    These techniques, I have already proven effective and practical. It is because, you
    can estimate the near actual quantity and height of your structures. You can also
    evaluate the type of soil as per the vegetation type where you spotted your structure.
    You can also evaluate if there are difficulties along your route (i.e. wide river crossing,
    valley crossing etc.). Such very useful informations are not usually seen in any of the
    Project Tender Documents or Route map.
    Wanna see the results.. just post your coordinates (UTM WGS 84) and we'll give you
