The most common method for site analysis involves capturing a high-resolution screenshot of the desired map area. To maximize quality, users often utilize tools like Google Earth Pro (a standalone desktop application with historical data and higher export resolutions). Within Google Earth Pro, one can save a high-resolution JPEG or PNG of a site. However, an image alone is useless to AutoCAD because it lacks scale and location data. Therefore, the user performs "georeferencing": they identify two or more known points (e.g., property corners or street intersections) in the image, find their real-world coordinates, and then use AutoCAD’s ALIGN or SCALE command to stretch the image to match real-world dimensions. Once scaled, the image can be traced with polylines, hatches, and text. The ability to import Google Maps into AutoCAD
