In today's video, I'll show you how to create a map of any Brazilian state, divided into municipalities, using Google Earth. This type of map is useful for academic and professional work in a variety of areas. In the field of architecture and engineering, it is commonly used in technical reports to locate the municipality of a given work or project, for example. In the video, I demonstrate how to import the boundaries of municipalities from a file downloaded from the IBGE website, format the elements and style of the map, highlighting one or more municipalities using a customized color scheme. The best part is that if you need this type of map frequently, you can save the information in Google Earth and just change the properties whenever you need to highlight a different municipality.
