And I do not know how to "enter" this collection into Google Earth. Thanks, Richard Placemark collection can be found here: http://www.pcschmiede.de.tf/boinc/ ID: 11114 · Reply Quote

Now you have an additional entry under "Places" (on the left) scsimodo ID: 11115 · Reply Quote

Now you have an additional entry under "Places" (on the left) Thanks. I found my problem. I am using Netscape and could not get the file. I opened up the above web site with IE and downloaded the zipped file. Then I followed your directions. This is a great idea to use Google Earth to locate those sites. I "flew" to several of them using your data and the Earth program. Richard ID: 11117 · Reply Quote
