How to place a photo in Google Earth

There are several ways to upload photos to Google Earth, for others to see:

The easiest is to upload it to Panoramio, and assigning it a location, with the disadvantage that they take time to be visualized in Google Earth, because the updates are done every so often.

Another way is to place it inside kml files and share them, let's see the steps:

1. Creating the kml

To do this, within Google Earth objects are created with the commands for creating a point, polygon, route or Overlay image

To save the kml file it is done with “file / save place as “, the difference between a kml and a kmz is that the second one is a more compressed format.

2. Adding the Image

The image as embedded object is added as follows:

  • Step 1:  you touch the object, and you select right button, properties
  • Step 2: In the “description” tag, enter the following code:

  • Step 3: In the field url copies the address of the image you want to display, for example:
    http://www.minasdeoro.info/imgs/amanecer-en–minas-005.jpg
    Images should be stored somewhere, you can use Googlepages, Picasa or Flickr to do so; The important thing is that they have directions to recognize them.
  • Step 4: In the width field you place the width, for example 150
    This way the label would be:
    <img src=” http://www.minasdeoro.info/imgs/amanecer-en–minas-005.jpg” width=”150″/>
  • Step 5: Click on the “accept” button
    To see how it is, just click on the point and the image should be displayed.

3. Sharing the file

To upload the file and make it visible on the network, in the left panel, where you can see the file, you right-click and choose “share/publish”. This brings up a Keyhole page, which allows you to save the kml.

You should be registered for this.

Once the file has been uploaded, the option to view it with Google Earth or Google Maps is enabled. In case you want to share them, these are the urls that you should promote.

  23. I do not know what happens I can not send you

  24. I read you again since I do not see the published line

  25. This is the only line, which I put in Description

  26. Hello Aldobl, tell me one thing, if you use the same example that I put, you always leave the gray square?

    That if you paste here in the comment the code that does not work to you, to see if there is some error

  27. Try step by step and I can not put the photo, just give me a small square of gray without the image

  28. I can not take photos, I can only see a cudrito with a gray background

  29. I can't post an image despite being registered. When I try to do it it warns me that I must be registered, it does not give me the option to log in, it only does it at the end but it tells me to try again where I return to the same problem at the beginning. I can't log in from the Google Earth application and from the page where I log in, I can't upload the image ... Can someone help me? thanks

  30. anything you want to show in google earth you must upload it to the web, if you want to show it to other people.

    There are several sites that allow you to store images, such as shareapic, where you can upload them, then select the images you are interested in showing in a single space and generate the code ready only to copy and paste

    I do not think you can show something like a powerpoint, but you can copy a hyperlink to deploy it. You always have to store it somewhere and then display the hyperlink as I mentioned at the end of the post.

  31. Hello, the subject was super, the one in the photo, I did not know it and it seems very simple according to your explanation. I have another question, suppose I have several images within a single point, I want to view them, in the same way a file, eg a ppt, can be viewed referring to a particular site (example disk D: / document and settings /… etc , something like hotlinks or referral links)

    greetings.

  32. That's good, thank you, I think I understand the basics.

  33. I'm going to leave a comment my conmentary is that I did not understand much so I'm going to resicnar not to upload my photo
    bye
