Jesse's Sample Tour on Google Earth
How to take a Google Earth Tour.
First click on the title, in this case “Jesse’s Tour”.
A question will come up “Do you want to open or save this file?
Open the file.
If Google Earth is downloaded, it should open right up.
If not downloaded, you will probably get a message asking you to download.
Once at Google Earth . . .
On the left side under the section called “Places.”
Look for the title that says jesse.kmz
To open click on the “+” sign.
Now click on the “+” that is next to the file folder that says “Jesse”.
To take an un-interrupted tour, double click the folder at the bottom of the “Places” box that has a “play” icon.
To take a tour includes Jesse’s narration, you’ll need click on each individual line, below Jesse’s folder. The placemarks (in this case thumbtacks) will take you to the location, the video camera icon allows you to hear the narration.
