arcgis-desktopgoogle earthkmllabelingmxd
I've been trying to convert a map from .mxd to .kml for google earth. The map has municipalities labeled as well as train stations. When I save it and open it in Google Earth, only the train station labels appear.
I have tried moving the municipal layer up in the table of contents before saving. I have also tried taking out the rail stations labels and only having the municipal labels. Neither has done the trick.
You must properly specify Name and Description fields. See screenshot:
Also there are several options, that can be configured during exporting to KML (depends of selected driver):
According to the same problem you linked to,
Google Earth only displays labels for point features (placemarks). To display labels for line or polygon features in Google Earth, midpoints or centroids for those feature classes must be created as a point layer
Best Answer
Google Earth requires labelled polygons in ArcGIS to be labelled points.
*use the 'INSIDE' to force points inside the original polygon.

add the point layer into your .mxd label it.
