Complete Amsterdam Guide Amsterdam, at last a guide for something to do. I started with a travel guide book. you can find all the important sights there, then go to Google Earth, find the sight, and placemark it. turning on streets can be very helpful finding the places of interest. Then when you found one, just write a description to it (or copy and paste from a travel website) and post the link to a picture if you want. you can also embed a picture with a html tag. Thats pretty much it, 1,000's of cities left to do, has your hometown been done yet?? Nuclear Facilities - Power Plants, Fuel Processors ( USA ) If you know of one I missed, please let me know. Some sites are High-res, some are super-low res. Enjoy!The Voyages of Admiral Zheng He 1405-1433 It reminds me that I really need to upgrade my old tours made in KeyHole with all of the neat tools now available in Google Earth. Amman Jordan Guide InterestingMore city tours and guides can be found HERECross Eye 3D pictures I can do it, it's cool. Just don't stay like that!!

WWII: All the places, battles & special OP And the great links make it even more valuable.Anchorages of the Caribbean & More Anchorage placemarks utilize anchor icons, placemarks which include diving information have dive flag icons, and land based travel utilize either sign posts, Myan pyramids or airplanes. Icons are grouped by region / country / state or year.California Historic and Geologic Maps Still fine tuning the interface and adding more maps. Now have about 1,700 map overlays available. I have also color and size coded the image placemarks so that it's much easier to tell where the maps are in relation to each other. Any of the map groups that have "NEW" at the end have been converted over to this index system. Working on converting the others over. Sculptures Around the World am new..and as the warning notice suggests, am bubbling with enthusiasm.How about collecting sculptures that actually can be seen on Google Earth. OK, if you want to add museums as well that may be OK and note the presence of a sculpture garden or what have you. I was just amazed at that I could see Henry Moore's Atom Piece (Nuclear Energy) on the U fo Chicago campus. Airports Worldwide over 950 of them! What started out as a little pet project to find the airports that I had flown to, ended up being a massive undertaking of international proportions

Definitive Roller Coaster Guide Every Coaster has its own photo(apart form the Iraq one) - Every Coaster has its own detailed description and facts.Satellite captured Planes in flight The placemark at the head of this post contains a record of all aircraft discovered in flight in GE. It is split into 2 folders, Satellite-captured aircraft, and Aerial photography of aircraft.
It is updated with new finds daily. If you download it (just click on it) and drag-and-drop it into My Places and make sure it is enabled, and you'll instantly know if any finds that you make have been spotted before. Make sure you update it regularly - just delete the old one and download the new..The ULTIMATE Walt Disney World Collection! EDIT: the icons changing to the "i" must be some sort of glitch. Global Cloud Map I have created an image overlay with a near-realtime global cloud map. Volvo Ocean Race 2005/2006 Read and view all placemarks in this topic
