This tutorial shows you how to view your active map layers in Google Earth. Although you can export map layers for offline use with Google Earth, you can also use Overture to serve maps to Google Earth directly. Note that this functionality requires that you have Google Earth installed on the same computer as Overture.

To set up a connection, all's you need to do is click the View Maps in Google Earth toolbar button, as highlighted below:

Button Bar - Link to Google Earth

Google Earth will be launched if it's not already running. When it has loaded, you will see a "Remote Viewer" entry has been added to the "Temporary Places" collection, with an item for each active layer in your project. Click on a check boxes to view the corresponding layer:

Google Earth - Live Connection

The layers you see in Google Earth are served up by Overture, and Overture must be running for the connection to work.

You can also use this function to show your active map layers to a colleague on your intranet. To do this, you first need to copy the connection link to the clipboard:

Google Earth - Live Connection

You can then paste this link into an email or IM client. This link will enable any computer on the intranet with Google Earth installed to view your active map layers.
