An easy way to mark destinations on Google Earth

by Neil MacLean

Occasionally I brainstorm different ways to use Google Earth with travel companies, from mapping safari routes to pinpointing hotels to marking the start of a walking trail. Although the technical side is not particularly tough, it is time consuming and anything which lightens the load has to be celebrated. That’s why I was glad to see this bit of Mac software on my radar.
Earth Addresser takes addresses from your Mac’s address book and writes them to a clickable KML file which Google Earth can then open to display on its map. Better yet, if you add a photo to an entry, it pops up instead of the usual drawing pin.
Really good, particularly as it’s free.
