In response to an earlier post, David asks<\/a> the good question of how to add the files to Google Earth. It\u2019s actually pretty easy.<\/p>\n

1. Download Google Earth<\/a> if you don\u2019t already have it installed. It\u2019s free, and it\u2019s useful for all sorts of things if you (or your kids) like maps at all.<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/a><\/p>\n

3. A popup window appears similar to the one below. Open the file directly with Google Earth. (Alternately, you can download the file somewhere, such as your Desktop, and open it there.)<\/p>\n

\"Firefox<\/p>\n

4. Google Earth opens. \u201cAll Bible Places\u201d appears under the \u201cTemporary Places\u201d folder in the sidebar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5.Now use Google Earth however you want to. When you\u2019re done, close Google Earth to get the following prompt. Click \u201cYes\u201d if you want to save the places permanently to your computer.<\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Now the places will appear whenever you start Google Earth. Check or uncheck the checkbox to make them appear or disappear.<\/p>\n

\"\u201cAll<\/p>\n

I hope that was clear enough. Leave a comment if you run into any problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
