NYC Google Earth Mega Pack!
This is my super-duper NYC Google Earth placemark collection I am now sharing with the world. It's mostly centered around mass transit, however I need YOU to give me ideas on what to add to it. Feel free to email me with your ideas at dan.ferrante AT gmail.com.
To get it:
- Get Google Earth, if you don't already
- Add a network link under My Places
- Right click on my places
- Go to add>network link
- Put this url in the link field:
