Google Earth Images and links to Fields

Postby DarkHelmet » Mon May 29, 2006 2:22 pm

Let's each post a google earth link to our fields.

What is Google Earth?

It is a satellite image viewer where you can zoom in and out over the entire globe and view the capture satellite imagery.

How do I Get it?

http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html

How do I post the picture here?
1. Find your field in Google Earth First.
2. Click Add on the top, select Placemark (or press CTRL+N)
3. Find it in the Places list on the left, right click, Save As...
4. Save the file to a spot where you will find it again, Like on your desktop or in your "My Documents"
5. Zip the File
6. Upload the zip as an attachment here.

How do I post the link here for others to look at in Google Earth?
To Follow after I have figured it out

Ballito airfield - if you zoom out abit, you see how close we are to the coast. The airfield is the little white smudge below the "marker"

Co-ords, S29 29' 15" E 31 10' 39"

Is my Placemark correct for your field KB? I took it off your co-ords? Added it as attachment to your post.
