Biking across Poland

GEB reader 'fjk' has recently completed a bicycle trip across much of northern Poland, and he did a great job of tracking the journey and augmenting it with photos and other information.

A group of four of them completed to the trek to Swinoujscie, and they used a Garmin 60CSx to track their route.

To view the trip in Google Earth (as seen above), you can simply load this KMZ file Google Earth File. You must have GE installed. . To see more of his adventures, check out his website.

It's great to see people sharing their journeys using Google Earth. If you missed it last month, a few GEB readers used the new "track" feature in 5.2 to show the progress of a 23km race that one of them participated in.

If you've created an interesting track in Google Earth recently, let us know about it and we may feature it in a future post.

More building maker cities added; Santiago and Valparaiso, Chile

It's been a while since Google has added any new cities to their Building Maker tool, but now two more have joined the mix - Santiago and Valparaiso, Chile.

These two cities bring the total available in Building Maker up 94. I'm always happy when they expand the coverage to more cities, and I look forward to seeing them expand the coverage area for existing cities a bit further.

Google has pointed out that a few users have been building a lot of models in the area over the last few years. In particular, 'gananunez' has created over 50 models in Valparaiso and users 'GecKo StuDio' and 'Sergio' have been creating various buildings in Santiago for the last few years. Having their buildings in the area will be a great start as other users start to fill in the cities with new Building Maker cities.
