Google Earth
SailBlogs directly supports Google Earth, a free global visualization and mapping tool, allowing you to provide a "feed" of your blog and map positions to GE users. This enables visitors to follow your progress, see your journal entries and photos, and combine with other information all right in Google Earth. There is no special configuration for you, the Google Earth Network Feed gets its information directly from the XPlot engine. You simply enable the feed in the Map Properties, and SailBlogs does the rest.
XPlot map tracking and Google Earth support by SailBlogs together add a whole new dimension to your journal and greatly enhances your journal's value to friends and family.
Custom Solutions
SailBlogs also provides the ability to enable fully custom Google Earth integrations, including a Speed Fence, custom balloons, icons, datasets and overlays all while integrating with your SailBlogs-based journal. Contact us for more information on custom SailBlogs solutions.
