Does anyone know why a few of the basemaps will work when brought into Google Earth Pro and others will not?  For example when I go to http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_Imagery_World_2D/MapServer and click on view in Google Earth, it shows up fine in Google.  But, http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer does not.  My only guess would be the spatial reference...?  I tried saving the kmz to a local drive and generating a kmz file to no avail.

I'm having the same issue. Attempting overlay the light gray canvas basemap in google earth and it never loads. Hopefully somebody knows how to solve this.

The work for me in google earth (not pro). It seems like I have to zoom out to get it to work. But once it starts drawing, it's fine.

Thanks,

Mike
