JMT on Google Earth

“Spent some time charting out another section of the JMT today and instead I mapped the whole thing. If you have Google Earth, or you're inclined to install it, here's my kmz file: JMTa.kmz

It's a pretty careful and detailed walkthrough and I think most of it's correct. Went from memory and had to check maps a couple of times. It's basically a 3D low level fly over via high-res satellite images.

Anywho, have fun with it. Thought about trailtalk when I finished.

It's simple to set up, but the instructions about how to install it are at my blog: Download and Installation

“Cool - looking forward to checking it out. I have done a similar thing for various places I think I might camp along the trail, so I'll be interested to look at it. Gotta run right now, though...”

“Looks pretty good. Most of your placemarks in Yosemite match up with the ones from when I was there.”

“FYI, when in the National Park system you can click on the content "Parks and recreation area" and it shows many of the trails, including the JMT in Yosemite”

“Pretty cool, Tekdude.

Nice blog too.

I have Google Earth but I'm not very good with it. All I can ever look at are the overhead views.”
