Google Earth in an article[edit]

This isn't possible because Google Earth is a programme that must be run on a user's computer. It is however possible to link to a map (with satellite imagery) using Google Maps. Go to Google Maps, find the location you wish to link to, and then click the "Link to this page" link. You'll be given a URI, this can be used to link to a specific map.

Please check this section on how to insert links into Wikipedia articles and this article for more information on what URIs to link and where. Both are important and should be read. Links that do not meet the Wikipedia guidelines are removed by other users. But don't worry if you aren't sure about something, do it, and if it isn't quite right, someone will correct it. :¬) Martin Porcheron ^{talk to me}_{my edits} 20:09, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
