Lucifer,
I appreciate the gigantic task you're doing with the Tiour de France. Last year I was able to follow it thanks to you. Do you have any plans in finishing the 2007 Tour?
Thanks,
Juan in Texas

The problem is that you don't see the actual route...

Hi! It was my first time I do such big project in Google Earth, and I think I managed to finish is sufficient!  I did it completely by hand. Is that your way as well, or do you recommend a tool I can use for this?
Regards,
Arthur

Hello FlightCaptain,
I do not use any particular tools, I mainly use the build in routing function of GE and manual editing.
first I place the tick marks along the route, the I use the navigate from here and to here in GE to get the road information. I copy the path from the search windo intop a folde in my places.
This way you get all the pieces of the road together.
You can then save the folder as KML (not KMZ) file.
You will see there a lot of coordinate blocks.
Just copy all the numbers you find between <coordinates> and </coordinates> into a single block.
make a KML file with just one small track in GE and replace the data with the one you got above.
finished is your route.
Load it in GE and choose "Properties" to fine tune the track.
The main problem is getting all the pieces in the right order...
But I dont know if this is realy faster than doing it manually 
I also used the online Spreadsheet Editgrid to geocode the information from Letour.fr
editgrid.com/user/lucifer/first
Editgrid has an export function to GE (See attached file, not working with Googlemaps!)

Cheers, Christoph

By the way, what exactly is the difference between a .kml and a .kmz file?

The diference between a KML and a KMZ file is...
nearly nothing
Just ZIP your KML file and rename it to KMZ
Well there are a few more details, for example grafics and Icons are included in the KMZ file. if you are curious, just take a KMZ file, rename it to .ZIP and unpack it to see what is inside.

Hi Lucifer,
I saw you (and a few others) have worked hard to visualize the 2007 stages of the TdF. Nice work!
Will you be able to make live coverage possible for the stages? Same as last year?
It was a superb solution to follow the Tour during work-days.
Keep up the good work!
Greetz,
Lunie

Hi all,
This file from eartview.nl has some mistakes - just look on stage #11 (mainly near Arles) and compare to the official map http://www.letour.fr/2007/TDF/COURSE/us/etape_par_etape_1100.html
If you're looking for correct data you can use GPS coordinates that can be found here site http://tour.ard.de/tdf/strecke/index.htm (click on a stage, then click GPS-Daten Download (txt) )
I used this data to create an add-on for NASA World Wind - http://www.worldwindcentral.com/wiki/Add-on:Tour_de_France

What you call "arrivée" in your placemark in London is actually the departure, I'm told.
Biiiig mistake, if you ask me.
--------------------
What I would really like is a clue to how to find it without a clue.

Is there live tracking in Google Earth this year? I've searched around but haven't been able to find it.
