I think it would be great if people could post Google Earth Placemarks. It would give us a way to communicate Hot Spots as well as danger areas. We could post Placemarks with pictures so you could see exactly where the photo was taken if you want to visit that particular place. Users could share their favorite boating locations and give links to camping, hotel, gas etc within the Placemark. It is a perfect tool for this type of forum. People could PM Placemarks to other users to confirm a meeting place on a lake or river.
So what do you say. Lets make it happen.
Link to Google Earth. Download Google Earth for free here. http://earth.google.com/
Link to Google Earth Forum. Good examples as to how KMZ files are used within a forum.
