Here is a tool for creating hexagon grid in Google Earth, which is useful in initial planning.

1. Fill the input fields as given on the example - pic.1. Longitude and Latitude are for central site and radius is the radius of the grid. Azimuth is the planned azimuth of first sector of the sites.
2. Push Create Grid button and the application creates kml file in "KML_export" folder located in the same folder where the application is - pic.2
3. Open the kml file in Google Earth



Make sure your decimal sign is "." in Regional Settings in Control Panel.

Hi,
Hexagon is good, but how can I move or rotate it around specified dot?

The central dot is set via longitude and latitude fields. You can rotate it via azimuth field.
