Virtual Tour: Dublin

I was able to set up a virtual tour around Dublin to orient everyone towards what we can see in the prime city.

You will need to do a couple of things in order to view them, so follow these steps:

1) Download and install Google Earth: http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html

2) Download Google Earth Tour Files:
a. Dublin_Sights – This file is a collection of sight markers.
b. Dublin_Tours – This file includes tour routes and virtual tours.

3) Open Google Earth and load .KMZ files.
Open .KMZ Files
a. File > Open > Select the file from your hard drive. Click “Open.”
b. They will load in the “Places” tool bar on the left.
c. Make sure the boxes by their names are “Checked.” if they are not checked they will not display on the map.

4) Double click one of the 4 virtual tours and it will automatically play.
Double click the virtual tour.

5) Interact! Turn on “Geographic Web” under the “Layers” Toolbar on the left. Then click on picture icons, pan the map, and spin it around. The tour will progress slowly so that you have time to look at pictures and examine the area.
Interact

Enjoy!
