Hi Ben 

There was an invite in my "My Galaxies" a little while back to do a Tour. While checking out the "experience" on Google Earth, I realized that a collaborator was needed if anything was going to be done from my collection.

Perhaps in the future sometime...

However, best wishes for those who can do!

Of course, send your own tours, I'm sure we'd all be very pleased to see them. I've just made a framework to allow people to create tours without any kml experience [kml is the instruction language of Google Earth].

I wanted to share my tour, this was for a class assignment.

I'm having trouble here, I cut and pasted this link from the page my tour is on, but it didn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

I'm not an expert here, but I think what you need to share is the .kml file you would have made. We'll all need to download that to our computers to run the tour ourselves. I'm excited to see what you did for your assignment though. I'll ping Ben (Hoyle) for more help if you still can't make it work after this suggestion.

Hi JTruby,

I'm interested to see how you got on. Did you manage to download and create the tour?

Cheers,

Ben.
