Google announced a new feature yesterday called , an integration of Google Earth, Maps, and images that anyone can use to tell adventure stories virtually.
The technology allows you navigate through Google Earth while following dropped pins or marked locations on the map. Each of the pins can include text, images, and video in addition to the option of entering Street View, which brings you into a 3-D world of the exact location. While Tour Builder is certainly in its beta stage, the program promises to have a wide application and could certainly be effective for sharing an outdoor journey.
Tour Builder requires a Google Earth Plugin and a Google account to operate.
