Google Earth tours of the GYE course

There are two ways to view a Google Earth tour of the GYE course events:

• You can download the tour into Google Earth (here are the simple directions).
  

• You can view an embedded tour in the window below. You'll need the Google Earth plugin installed on your computer for this to work, even if you have installed the entire Google Earth program (which I'm sure you have because it is the best program ever).

Note that the embed is not a video. To see what I mean, click in the tour window and move the cursor around while it is playing (hit the "Play" button to start). You'll get an interactive 3D playback! You can also pause, explore the area (using the navigation controls in the upper right; you can also use the mouse or keyboard), then resume the tour when you want. BTW, the Google Earth plug-in is well worth having because it is becoming more and more common for sites and blogs to include Google Earth-related features.

Downloading the tour into Google Earth provides many more options and much greater versatility than the embedded tour, so this is what I would do (after playing with the embedded tour first of course!)
