Hi! Have you checked Collect? http://www.openforis.org/tools/collect.html

More specifically, Collect Earth. http://www.openforis.org/tools/collect-earth.html

Hi Gabriel.

Do not use it before. Could you tell me the way I generate the grid from collect earth?

Dear Emanuel,

I’d rather suggest you to use a full-GIS software to achieved your goal. A viable solution is to create a vector grid using for instance QGIS (in particular the MMQGIS plugin, see e.g.: http://michaelminn.com/linux/mmqgis). Then, convert back the resulting shapefile grid into KML (see e.g.: http://www.townshipgis.com/resources/problems-and-workarounds/convert-shapefiles-to-kml).

Also for sampling work, you might have more flexibility to perform it within QGIS directly on the shapefile grid instead of using G. Earth.

Dear Daniele,

Thank you very much for the information. It was just what I needed. And the procedure that you indicated to me is very simple and easy to install.

I will also consider working directly from QGis.

Best regards. Emanuel

Hi Emanuel. Sorry I have missed this. You can refer to the CollectEarth documentation.

Also I can recommend you to follow this link:

https://code.earthengine.google.com/f451d843ddc49682483dcdc2f1daf069

Shows you how to generate (world sized)grids in GoogleEarthEngine (Global Cloud Computing GIS)!

Best, Gabriel

Gabriel,

Thank you very much

Very late to reply this question but here is a link to a Google Earth Engine base App to generate grids (that can be used for Collect Earth or other ends ): https://collectearth.users.earthengine.app/view/collect-earth-grid-generator

It is important to mention that should set the right EPSG code of your area of interest in order to get the most exact distance between plots.
