Google Earth

The mighty Google Inc. has been updating its Google Earth app with its latest at a beta version of Google Earth Pro 4. I’ve actually tested Google Earth 3 and it’s damn pretty good esp. that it now has the Qatar map in detail. I can even see our flat from it and even the construction being done on the roads! I am currently planning to get a project going in which i’d create a KML file for Qatar which contains landmarks like shopping malls, shops, building, restaurants, etc that people can download and use when they decide to use Google Earth. But since I started, I haven’t found that much time to update it since I’ve only spent about an hour updating it. I’ll probably update it once I finish relocating to http://www.lifeonthespot.com . But if you want to see a glimpse of my KML file, you can download it from here:

 Google Earth Qatar KML file

You can right-click and use "Save As" and make sure that you open it from google Earth or make sure that the KML file is associated with Google Earth if you choose to open it directly.

 Hopefully, I can make good progress with this in the coming days to come.
