How to Change Google Earth Setup Values

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.  Rumi

Time2Place performs intensive communication with Google Earth desktop application.
When Google Earth is installed some of the setup values need to be changed in order to make Time2Place and Google Earth a perfect couple.

Check "Allow access to local files and personal data".
Alternatively "Silently accept all unrecognised data" can be checked although Time2Place creates KML and KMZ files which are error free.

The Birth of Time2Place Blog

Every journey starts with a single step. To describe how it was depends on how much we understand, admit and tell. The rest is up to Time2Place.

The blog is all about reasons, technology, examples and stories related to Time2Place.

The idea is to bring the life cycle of an outdoor experience into common environment called Time2Place Project. Whatever we do or discover out there. Project supports life cycle of an outdoor experience. From initial planning and preparation to execution followed by (but not limited to) debriefing, re-experiencing, reporting, sharing and wrapping up. Whatever the reason.
When outdoor data is safely imported in the Project variety of tools can be applied in order to edit and create products and derivatives from outdoor data.
Blog will unveil them all. Existing ones and those under development.
Expression "whatever you do or discover out there" basically means that wast number of human activities can benefit from Time2Place.
The document lists some of the activities where Time2Place can be of great help.
 Stay tuned.
