Creating Placemarks
Placemarks allow you to insert an icon that marks a location in the 3D viewer on Google Earth.
- Search for the location you want to mark in the Search box at the upper, left-hand corner of the screen.
- Use the Zoom slider to zoom in far enough to distinguish the place you want to mark from other, nearby locations.
