Adding pictures, icons, embedded links and descriptions to KML/KMZ files
Share GPS allows the user to enhance KML/KMZ files with additional files and descriptions. During connection setup or editing, the user has the opportunity to set these on the last page of connection editor. As things are added, the user may delete this at anytime by pressing the item in the list. A confirmation for deletion prompt will be shown. Depending on the type, the following are available:
Description (Placemark and Track)
The user has the option of adding an overall description for this placemark or track. This will be shown when the user clicks the icon on the map in Google Earth.
Icons (Placemark and Track)
By default, Google Earth uses a push pin for the icon, this allows the user to replace that with a custom icon. Note that if the user enters multiple icons, only the first is used.
Image (Placemark only)
The user has the option to associate images with Placemark files. Multiple images can be added and the user will have the option to re-size the image. The images are shown when the placemark is clicked in Google Earth.
Embedded Links (Placemark only)
The user has the option to embed videos into the Placemark file via this option. The video will be shown when the user clicks on the placemark in Google Earth.
