Is it possible to add moving icon in google earth tour


I create a path in google earth and create the animation by google tour function. But I also would like to add the icon (such as arrow or car) moving along the path during the tour. Is there any simple way to achieve this?


Solution

  • The way to create an icon that moves along a path, and turns to face the direction it's currently moving, is to use a "KML Track". It's easy to create a Track from GPS data (gpx file or otherwise) via the GPS import tool in Google Earth Pro. Then you can add a custom icon if you wish. Once you have that track animating the way you want, you can add it to your Tour.
