Walking Directions in Google Earth - Google has
announced you can get walking directions in Google Maps. This new capability is in beta since they don't have thorough enough maps on pedestrian paths and walkways to give the most optimum routes. They encourage you to use common sense especially when going to unfamiliar places. But, the routes might help you calculate distances, or get an idea of routes in unfamiliar places. You could also drag the routes to adjust them to go by a park or a particular site.
You can also view walking routes in Google Earth. Assuming you may choose multiple destinations, I recommend using a tool from Nearby. First, set up your walking directions in Google Maps. Then select the "Link to this page" and copy the "Past link in E-mail". Then visit
Nearby's Multi-destination routing in KML tool, and paste the link. Click the "
Get it now" button and you will get a link to "
Download Google Earth KML File".
- including Havana - using the PhotoOverlay tool. I recommend turning on the Geographic Web layer while sightseeing so you can compare ground photos of these sites to the panoramas from 360Cities.
