How To Create Your Own Virtual Tour On Google Earth With A KML File

Recording your own virtual tours in Google Earth is a great way to remember your trips, and re-experience them (to a degree) at any time. Recording a Google Earth KML file might sound complicated, but as soon as you get the steps pat, you'll be wanting to record more and more. It takes a little more skill, but can help you share stunning trips and tours around the earth with anyone.

When I think about Google Earth, I have one of those "sci-fi moments". Had someone told me about Google Earth 15 years ago, I would have only been able to imagine it as part of a science fiction movie. And yet, this tool is at our disposal today, and what's more, it's completely free to use.

There are many things you can do with Google Earth: You can discover amazing places and visit places you've only dreamed about, you can experience nature and views without leaving your armchair, you can explore the stars, follow the sun, and do cool things on Google Earth  you might not be aware of. There's even a Google Earth iPad app worth checking out.

But there's one other thing you can do with Google Maps and Google Earth, something that takes a little more skill, but can help you share stunning trips and tours around the earth with anyone. Recording your own virtual tours in Google Earth is also a great way to remember your trips, and re-experience them (to a degree) at any time. Recording a Google Earth KML file might sound complicated, but as soon as you get the steps pat, you'll be wanting to record more and more.

Before We Start: Some Key Terms

Before you can record your Google Earth tour, there are some important terms we should get out of the way. First of all, you're going to need... Google Earth ! So go ahead and install that before you get started, in case you haven't already.

Now that you're all set, open Google Earth and get to know the interface a little better. As mentioned above, there are many things you can do with Google Earth, but for virtual tours, there are only a number of features you need to know about.

On the main screen, also called the 3D viewer, you can see the Earth. Drag it around, zoom and in and zoom out, add or remove layers via the Layers menu, and find the places you want to include in your tour. It's easy enough.

The basic elements of your tour are going to be:

1. Placemarks: pinpoints places you want to include in your tour. Add these by clicking the yellow pin icon (see the red rectangle in screenshot above).

2. Polygons: used to mark entire areas you want to highlight such as parks, islands, or any other area you want to show that a placemark can't do justice to. Add these by clicking the polygon icon (see rectangle in screenshot above).

3. Paths: want to show a great path through a city or park? This is the tool you need. Add a path by clicking the icon with three connected dots (see rectangle in screenshot above).

4. KML/KMZ files: these are the formats you're going to use to save your tour. KML stands for "Keyhole Markup Language" and contain geographical information. KMZ is the compressed version of KML, and if you create a narrated tour, you're going to have to use that to combine the maps and narration into one package.

Each of these options has additional features which we'll get into shortly, but for now, familiarize yourself with these concepts before you move on to the next step, creating your tour!

Creating The Virtual Tour

There is more than one way to create and record a virtual tour with Google Earth. I've tried several, and today I'm going to focus on the one that's easiest to create, and also easiest to share with others.

The first thing you need to do is, naturally, decide which places will be included in your tour. Browse around, or use the search feature, and when you reach a spot you want to include, click the pin to add a placemark.

You can move the placemark around to get it in the right spot, and give your placemark a name, a description, and even add links or images (these need to be online in the form of URLs). To make things interesting, you can change the pin's color, as well as the text's, and even change the pin's altitude. If you want your tour to open on Google Maps as well, make sure you choose "Relative to ground" in the tab for altitude.

When you hit OK, the placemark will be added under the Places menu on the left, and you'll be able to quickly access this point again by double-clicking on it. Add as many of these placemarks as you wish.

To add a polygon, click the polygon icon, and give your new polygon a name. At this point don't close the polygon properties window , it needs to be open in order for you to draw your polygon.

Here too, you can add links and images, and change colors as you see fit.

You can add new paths in just the same way. Click the path icon, give the path a name, and draw the path with your mouse. Here, aside from colors and such, you can also set the path's measurement units to anything from miles or kilometers to smoots or nautical miles.

Every time you add a new placemark, polygon, or path, they will show up under Places, until you accumulate a list of places you want to include in your tour.

Now that you have your places, you're ready to record your tour!

Note: At this point, you can right-click My Places and choose "Save Place As…". You'll get a KML or KMZ file with all your chosen spots, but it will not be a real tour, just a list of places you or others can load to look at later.

Recording The Virtual Tour

In theory, you can skip to this part without preparing your places in advance. When recording, you can simply browse the globe looking at places, and having a ready-made list is not a must. It will, however, make your tour much smoother, so I highly recommend making at least some preparations.

Ready to record? All you have to do is click on the tiny video camera icon called "Record a Tour". You'll find it next to the old placemark, polygon and path buttons you already know. When you do this, the recording window will open, giving you two options: record , and narrate .

To create a silent tour, click the regular record button. To create a narrated tour, or even tour with a musical soundtrack, click the microphone button.

As soon as you start recording, everything you do with the map becomes part of the tour. Therefore, I found that the best way to create a polished tour is to set the map to your starting point before you start recording, hit the record button, and then start double clicking your saved points one by one to automatically go from one to the next. Anything you click on while on the 3D viewer will be shown in the tour.

When you're done, hit the record button again, and your tour will automatically start playing from the beginning.

If you're happy with the result, click the disk icon while the tour is playing, which will save it to your Places. Make sure you do this before you do anything else, or you might lose the entire tour.

Now that you have the tour under Places, you can save it as a KML or KMZ file. Right click the tour and choose "Save Place As…"

You can save the tour in either KML or KMZ format, but if the tour is a narrated one, make sure you choose KMZ, or the tour will be saved without the audio.

Ready? Create A Tour!

That's everything you need to know to create a basic virtual tour on Google Earth. There are many more aspects and features you can add to your tour, of course. For example, you can use the Sunlight feature to include light and dark animations of the sun, use the historical imagery to create a tour from past to present, use the weather layer to enhance your tour, and more. It's all a matter of how creative you want to be.

Creating a virtual tour is so easy, you may get addicted after doing it once, so be warned!

Create an HD Fly-Through Video Tour in Google Earth Pro

In January, Google decided to make Google Earth Pro free for everyone —that means we can all make use of features that previously cost $400 a year, and one of those features is the ability to record HD video of your tours. From floating along the Grand Canyon to zooming into your local neighborhood, here's how to record your own fly-throughs using the software.

First of all you need to download the Google Earth Pro software to your system. When you get to the login dialog, which pops up right away, enter your email address as your username and GEPFREE as the license key. You should then be into Google Earth Pro and all its features, including HD video tours.

Recording movies

There are a few different ways to approach this: The most straightforward is to click Tools , then Movie Maker , then Create Movie . The software then records all of the movements you make, in real time, until you click the Stop Recording button. Use the keyboard and mouse to move around, and your movements are recorded, it's as simple as that (the arrow keys, plus Shift and Ctrl/Cmd cover most of the navigation).

The Live mouse and keyboard navigation option needs to be checked in the Movie Maker dialog if you want to create fly-throughs in this way. Other options enable you to set the video quality (up to 1920 x 1080 HD), the video format, and the video file output location. When the recording is finished, you can view it straight away.

Creating tours

If you want to plan your fly-through in advance, you need to create a tour. You'll see the A saved tour option in the Movie Maker dialog. This is easily done: Head to all of the places you want to include en route, and set a placemark at each one via the Add Placemark button on the toolbar. It helps if you keep them organized in a single folder, and you can untick the placemarks if you don't want the yellow pins to be visible in your video.

Then, select the Record a Tour button on the toolbar. Click on the record button that pops up (hide the program's Tour Guide panel if you can't see it) and double-click each of your placemarks in turn at your own pace. Hit the record button again, and your tour is created. Use the floppy disc icon to save it, and it will become available in the Movie Maker dialog. as well as the sidebar to the left.

You don't have to stick to the placemarks—the tour will record any manual movements you make with the keyboard and the mouse too—but it's a simple way of jumping between particular points and views that you find interesting. The more placemarks you use, the more control you have over each step and camera position of your finished fly-through.

Tour settings

So, you can record your video freestyle, or use a preset tour, or even launch the recording in manual mode and then pick from your placemarks as you go along—it's up to you. The software also lets you create tours from paths (such as driving routes). Your finished recording will be in the specified location for you to use as you wish.

There are a few more options available if you click Tools and then Options (it's under Google Earth and Preferences on a Mac), then open up the Touring tab. You can set how quickly the tour moves between different points, and how long it waits before moving on, as well as various other features.

Google Earth Pro is a complex piece of software and there's a lot to explore, but those are the basics of recording fly-throughs. You can now experiment with tours, placemarks, paths and lines as you wish to get the best results. The audio button (on the record tour pop-up) lets you add a narration via your computer's microphone if you want to talk your viewers through the action. Check out the Help Center for more pointers.

Google Earth supports the following formats.

  • Windows Media Video (WMV)
  • Audio Video Interleave (AVI)
  • QuickTime (Mac only)

See Making Movies with Google Earth .

Follow these steps to record your movie:

  • From the Tools menu, select Movie Maker. The Movie Maker dialog box appears.
  • From the Supported Compression Formats selector, choose the desired compression format for your movie. If you want to have a movie format other than WMV (Windows Media Video) or .mov (QuickTime), check the Advanced checkbox and choose the format. If you choose another movie format, only standard AVI compression is available. Note that AVI formats are not compressed and therefore will result in large files.
  • Select High Quality or Standard Quality as the movie quality. See Movie Quality Levels for details.
  • Choose the Frames Per Second (FPS) you desire for your movie. The highest FPS setting, 60, offers the smoothest movie viewing experience, but at the cost of a large file size. Typically, a setting of 30 works fairly well for movies that you want to provide over the Internet.
  • Choose the resolution for your movie. You'll want to choose a resolution that is appropriate for your final movie display. From 320x240 to 1920x1080 (HD).
  • Specify a name for your movie. Click on the Browse button and navigate to a location on your computer where you want to save the movie file when you are finished recording. Type in a name for the file in the file dialog box and click on the OK button.
