Using KML files in GoogleEarthTM to view signs and trail sections

To display satellite views (or street maps) of the annotated state march routes with data from KML files you must first install on your computer an application that can read and display KML files. One such app is GoogleEarthTM (for Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu). This app is free. Get it from the GoogleEarthTM download page.

After that installation you can simply double-click on a KML filename in a directory (or folder) on your computer. The GoogleEarth&TM; app will launch, import the KML file, and display the trail or signs described in the KML file. Read the file Touring with KML files for a brief discussion of using GoogleEarthTM. You can manipulate the viewing point to be closer or farther away from Earth's surface and toward different compass directions.
