The Google Earth browser has updated the Layers section and has added new
submissions
to the Google Earth Forums Community. In all of the Interactive Watersheds web
site
projects and others we are involved in we have collected GPS points for the
panoramas we
have taken since 2001. Potentially all of these points can be located in the
Google Earth
Browser with links made to the panoramas and video sequences. A few months ago I
produced an example of how this can work with the Jamaica Protected Areas
project under
construction now. I will provide information about this below.

I have also created several Google Earth fly in movies which do not require the
Google
Earth Browser. Below are links to pages where you can find these.

We now have all of the GPS locations for the Interactive Watersheds locations
marked in
Google Earth. Some time will be required to create links to each watershed web
site and to
each location web page. Anyone interested in this should contact me at their
earliest
convenience.

You can now find the Jamaica placemarks where Mountain Visions has taken
panoramas
and video during 2006 in the "Environment and Conservation" Layer of the Google
Earth
Community Forums. Each placemark also contains links to more information about
the
JPAT web site. Eighteeen of these also include direct links to view 360 degree
panoramas,
which can also be seen in a "Full Screen" High Definition view.

You can also add placemark locations to Google Earth and send them to your
associates
via e-mail. These can also be added to the Google Earth Community Forums, if you
choose. I will try to answer questions if you have them.
