How can I publish a KML tour that is shown in a browser?

Question

Till recently, it was easy to show a (Google Earth) KML tour in a browser. The KML file showed a film along a route (via sattelite).

Google changed working with external KML's.

Previously I could 'fly' along the route - as if the spectator was within an aeroplane during 5 minutes.

How can I show a (Google Earth) KML tour easily for other people in a browser?

Answer 1

I hope you find a better solution. Please let me know in advance and I will remove this solution with pleasure.

Record (with a screen capturer) Google Earth while playing a route. Afterwards post it to Youtube etc.

If you want to instantly view the KML on the browser, use this website. Just place the KML codes on the textfield and you're ready to go. Try this KML file:

<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
<Placemark>
<name>Simple placemark</name>
<description>Attached to the ground. Intelligently places itself 
at the height of the underlying terrain.</description>
<Point>
<coordinates>-122.0822035425683,37.42228990140251,0</coordinates>
</Point>
</Placemark>
</kml>

If you're writing your own implementation, know that KML is still supported by Javascript Maps API.
