You can "hyperlink" or bookmark locations or views from which you can return to with that exact view by creating a placemark and snapshot the current view onto that placemark.

When you're ready to capture the current view:

1. Create a new placemark in Google Earth

2. When "New Placemark" dialog comes up click "View" tab

then click "Snapshot current view"

Now you can save that place to your saved places or email it to others.

Right-mouse click on the Placemark and select "Email".

Alternatively you can select "View in Google Maps" in the File menu.

From the web browser you can select the link button to copy the URL of that view and cut-paste that in an e-mail or whatever.

Answer #2

For a more advanced use of KML you can hyperlink and click from one placemark to another with hyperlinks in the descriptions of the placemarks that link to one another. This uses "feature-anchors" which can link to a placemark by it's id (not name).

Google Earth by default shows the location as latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. The location can be seen when you mouse-over a place on map by enabling the "status bar" option in the View menu.

If you want to change the lat/lon format, open the dialog in Tools/Options/3D View. The "Show Lat/Long" panel has following options:

  • Decimal degrees
  • Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (DMS)
  • Degrees, Decimal Minutes
  • Universal Transverse Mercator
  • Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) - Google Earth Pro Only

Regardless of how the location is displayed, the location is always stored as latitude and longitude in decimal degrees as represented in the underlying KML file.

You can toggle the display of latitude/longitude lines by pressing the keyboard short-cut Ctrl-L or by checking the "Grid" option in the View menu.

How can we locate the places on the map with the help of latitude and longitude?

Any geographic point on the Earth can be identified by its latitude and longitude. However, locations underground may not be accessible at the same point above them on the surface. Any online map site should let you enter the latitude and longitude to see what is located there.Latitude is always first and on the side so you would find latitude then longitude is up and down then u would put your finger on the point then follow the line until your fingers meet.Take two fingers, place one on the latitude you want and the other on the longitude you want. Then move your fingers along the lines until they connect. Make sense?


How do you put the latitude and longitude lines on Google maps?

You can enter latitude/longitude coordinates in Google Maps to zoom to that location.With Google Maps open you can, for example, enter "48.86,2.35" into the search text box to jump to Paris, France. The order of coordinates is latitude,longitude in decimal degrees.Sometimes the coordinate search gets confused and in that case you should prefix the coordinates with the location tag "loc:" such as "loc: 48.86,2.35" not including the quotes.Likewise, you can use a URL for Google Maps with the parameters ?q=48.86,2.35 added to end of the base URL in your web browser.If you're browsing Google Maps and want to know the coordinates of a location, just right-click on the map and select 'What's here?'. The coordinates will automatically pop up in the search box.To learn more about understanding coordinates, check out this article in related links below.
