Thanks for all that job is really great. I have a little problem when I try to see a multiple location site I got a warning saying that only the first 127 sites will be displayed. Is there anyway to expand the original kmz and get only the multiple location site
I�m thinking about
whc.unesco.org/sites/874-loc.htm
Thanks
Myself hours later
Well I've found a workaround (now you can see 727 sites) if anyone want to edit it to match the rest, please do it.
None of the sites are in the correct place, they are like 1 Km around the spot and a there are some series (i.e. La Sarga I, La Sarga II, La Sarga III) that have the same coordinates what is phisically imposible.
Best

There's a mistake in the naming of a site:


Monastery and Site of the Escurial, Madrid -> Monastery and Site of the Escorial, Madrid


See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Escorial

Excelente, muy �til. Gracias

Well I read through most of the thread here and saw that there ARE some problems with

• multiple locations,
• wrong locations.

Folks, as it is clear in Herrminator' post; it's not him who updates these things.
Plus in my city, the image of GE is so blury that even I could hardly locate the exact point where the (multiple) locations of the late Roman (early Christian) burial chambers are.

So I just made an image overlay and did the job myself - this could be done by anyone (not to speak about the fact that even UNESCO's website has quite little information about the individual sites themselves).

You can see the "result" in this post (I don't want to attach the placemark here since we are kindly asked not to post placemarks several times ).

Anyway; a nice collection, Herrminator - thanx
_______

Maybe a solution for multiple locations could be if the placemarks of these sites were folders instead of individual locations.

Hi everybody!

I'm sorry that there haven't been any updates lately, but I've been quite busy elsewhere

I'm working on a new versions that might use some of the new features GoogleEarth 4 is offering. Whether some of it makes sense or not, remains to be seen. I'll keep you updated on the development progress, though it might take some time

Meanwhile: Enjoy!

There have been a lot of corrections to the UNESCO site, so I re-generated the placemarks to reflect those changes.

I also took the opportunity to switch to KML 2.1, as I think most of the people are using Google Earth 4.x now. This also allowed me to use the new <Region> feature, which makes the icons of sites with multiple locations appear only as you zoom in.

So, please re-download the english version here, ou la version fran�aise ici.

Enjoy!

Unfortunately not. I just came back yesterday from a longer stay abroad and didn't have any time yet to update.

Apart from that, I got word from one of the Board Administrators, that UNESCO is no longer happy with the work being done here. I don't know the exact reasons, but Google had to remove the collection from the community showcase, as you might have noticed.

So the future of this project is a little bit uncertain, though I will probably continue, at least for my private use

Nonetheless, while I'm thinking about it,
Enjoy!

The official UNESCO version doesn't work well. When I load it, it tends to make rotation of the globe stall for upto 5 seconds.

I'm currently on a round the world trip visiting most of the UNESCO sites. I keep a map of my travels and use your World Heritage site list in my map.
