kingbunky 3 #27 August 3, 2006 QuoteHow do you create a folder to put all the landmarks under? right click on whatever you want to put the folder in, and select that option from the menu.

howardwhite 6 #28 August 3, 2006 I haven't tried this, but... Wouldn't it be possible to load all the individual .kmz files into one's Google Earth, then create a new folder, Dropzone.com, and cut and paste all of the other ones into it? Then save it as a new .kmz for easier distribution here. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's see how many more we get my the end of the day and give it a shot to see what happens.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

howardwhite 6 #31 August 3, 2006 Already done it The Jumptown one doesn't have its own globe icon, probably because I never exported and re-imported it. But I moved it to a virgin PC and it works . It's only 14k at the moment. (Done too late to include San Marcos.Sorry.) HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only 14k at the moment. (Done too late to include San Marcos.Sorry.) HW My only suggestion to the compiled .kmz would be to name it so that the name included the version number. Since the version will continue to update, my further suggestion would be for the version number to be the date in YYYYMMDD format so that the build you make at the end of today would look like; 20060803DZdotCom.kmz Of course, that's just the kind of thing -I- would do.

uponone 0 #33 August 3, 2006 This is really cool. Can someone from every DZ in Cali make one, I'd love to have them all. Here's where I jump. It may be small, but I call it home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howardwhite 6 #34 August 3, 2006 Yup.. agree it can be a mess without some sort of naming convention. In addition, it might be necessary or desirable to segregate by geography, e.g. North America, Europe, etc. Someone could have a full-time job doing this. (I'm not volunteering.) (Trying it now on a Linux box, having created it on Mac and tested on PC. (Geek...? me?? no way....) HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerry81 10 #45 August 4, 2006 Skydive Venezuela, plus some locations in the town of Higuerote. GE picture is about a year old and most of the infrastructure isn't on yet. I've included an image overlay (could be a bit better, but hey)- does it work? I'd say I was bored at work as well, but doing this kinda fits into my job description anyway.

Eule 0 #50 August 6, 2006 QuoteGoogle Earth is simply amazing. It is pretty cool, but I was about to complain that it only runs on legacy systems and FruitOS. But now they have a penguin version too, yay! I downloaded it, and it runs, but it's not a great idea for me to run it and Firefox at the same time. Some day I'm really going to have to go up to 128 megs of RAM from 96 megs. QuoteAnybody else have any ideas for this project? Trading links to DZs among ourselves is probably totally cool, but Google Earth links to DZs on dropzone.com's dropzone listings might possibly run afoul of the license agreement: Quote1.
