 * Tour creation tutorial**

This is a quick tutorial on how to make a tour in Google Earth. There are two ways to do this. The first way you can look at the places specifically. The second way lets Google Earth do it for you.
 * You will need**
 * One copy of [|Google Earth]
 * An idea for a tour!

Yes, that is all you need. Easy!

1. Browse to the first placemark of your location in GE. 2. Go to //Add -> Placemark// or just press //Ctrl N// to create the first placemark. A window will appear. 3. While this window is open, adjust the properties of the placemark with one or more of the following methods:
 * __This is the first way.__**
 * Use the mouse to move the placemark around on the map.
 * Click on the icon inside the **Name** box to change this icon.
 * Click on the **Advanced** box to change more properties:
 * Label and icon properties in the **Style** tab
 * Exact positioning in the **Location** tab
 * Viewpoint, in the **View** tab

4. Now give the placemark a name, and maybe add a description. 5. Create a new folder for the tour, by clicking on **My Places** then on **New Folder**. Type (What your going to call your tour) in the **New Folder** window. 6. Click on **Ok** and you will have your first placemark in your tour. 7. Browse to the next location in your tour. 8. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 above to set the name and description of this placemark. 9. Expand **My Places** in the Folder view, either by clicking that folder or the little arrow next to it. After this, click **OK** and your second placemark is saved to this folder also. You now have two locations in your tour. Note that GE will put your placemarks in the folder in reverse order, so you might need to re-arrange them by dragging them around. 10. Repeat steps 2 to 9 for all of the placemarks on your tour. Eventually you will have a complete list of locations for your tour. 11. Once you have all your sites setup, you will need to record your tour so you can share it. 12. You will have to do a walk through of your tour. 13. While recording you can show all the places you wanna go to. You will have to do this manually. 14. In order to start recording, in the toolbars there will be a video recording symbol. Click on it. 15. Move your mouse around the bottom left of the sreen. 16. You will find a red dot. 17. As soon as you click it will start recording, go to the places you want to show. 18. When your done click the recording button to stop. 11. Try out your tour by clicking on the your folder in the Places list. Then, clicking the play icon at the bottom of the list. Your tour is complete!
 * Your tour will be saved under the **My Places** folder for you automatically. However, if you'd like to save this tour separately so you can send it to someone or upload it, you should save it to a separate file. Just right-click the top level folder, then select **Save As...**. You can then save the tour like any regular file and send it or upload it here.


 * __This is the second way. You will start out the same way.__**
