Linking to Google Earth
 Did you realise you can easily embed live geospatial links within your Junior Viewpoint files that work dynamically with Google Earth?
And although you can't create files that do this using Junior Viewpoint, you can open them and use them.
All you need is a single copy of Viewpoint to create the file, which can then be used with your copies of Junior Viewpoint.
Below, you can find a copy of the updated Ancient civilisations datafile, which has been modified to include live Google Earth links within it. You can download and use this file with Junior Viewpoint, but only Viewpoint users will be able to edit the file or create a similar one from scratch.
First, you need to download Google Earth from here and install it on you computer.
http://earth.google.com
How do I do something similar myself?
- Create a Viewpoint file which has a field created with the 'file question' field
- Locate your point of interest using Google Earth
- Save the location as a .kmz file
- Drop the .kmz file onto your file question field on your Viewpoint form
- Repeat this process for each record as required
- Save the Viewpoint file
This can now be used with either Viewpoint or Junior Viewpoint. Click on the file question field and Google Earth will load and zoom in to the saved location!
