More On Using Google Earth
Google Earth is a web desktop application that allows you to "fly" the earth to a particular destination, get driving directions, and more. A free version is available for download at earth.google.com
After Google Earth is installed on your computer, download the KML file above and save it to your hard drive. (IE users: right-click on the KML file and "Save Target As....") When you double-click the KML file on your hard drive, Google Earth will launch.
Under the "My Places" pane on the lefthand side of the screen, find "Ohio Boat Access Sites" in the "Temporary Places" folder. Drag "Ohio Boat Access Sites" to your "My Places" folder. This ensures that "Ohio Boat Access Sites" will appear anytime Google Earth is launched. |
