![]() ![]() Rocket path: When flying from low location to a distant far location the path loops high following the rocket path rather than staying close to the ground surface (crow path).The interface is very clean (inheriting look and style from Google's standard interface design) and its very intuitive. Once you've created a tour, you can edit the sequence of location by simple drag and drop. You do it 'in the cloud' as your tour is saved in a location related to your Google account so to edit, you must be online but you have the advantage that you can access your tours from any online machine. With this tool you can define a series of locations and then upload images, compose text or link to videos related to each location. Also, fiddling around with lots of elements in the places column was tedious and you ran out of space quickly. What GETB does: Previously you could record a Google Earth tour in Google Earth but if you wanted to edit it, you had to get into the KML code. Other's have had a go at this (see previous post) but nothing has come close to filling the need IMHO so well done whoever '' is.Įducational Uses: I get students to produce Google Earth tours on two courses, I think as an assignment it really works, I've showcased an example of a student's work previously and I think its such a neat teaching tool that I gathered some thoughts from colleagues on the idea (under 'Space stories') at a conference this summer. Some History: A week before I saw it I was trying to get a funding bid accepted to build pretty much what this is, and I've been banging on about the need for it for years. Previously I couldn't get GETB working*, I've worked out a work around* so now I have so a fuller review for you:įirstly, a little shout for joy is in order: YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! It looks good. ![]()
