How to add placemarks in Google Earth ?

Its very simple to post a placemark on gooogle earth and to share it with the world,

Just open google earth if you don't have it you can download it from the right pane (Google PACK)

For that you need a google account!

To mark a placemark in google earth
just click on placemark icon,
write the heading and description (we can't post empty placemarks) ,
right click on the placemark,
and then select the option of Share/Post.

A browser window will open showing that u are willing to post a placemark. say continue, again it will say that check if there exist a similar post or not, mark those two check boxes, and say continue, if u are not logged in, login and say remember password (it sometimes gives problems), Follow the procedures and then, You are through.

You can send these published placemarks to any one in this world. These placemarks need to be approved by Google, so it takes around a couple of weeks or more to get approval, and once approved you can see them on your google earth or google maps.

If your palcemarks are fresh still people can search for them and download them

and then finally the page opens saying enter the details about the point, wat kind of point is it? choose from a list of it. and then finally enter the title and description and it is done.

You have sucessfully posted the placemark,
