This mashup is very simple to use, just remember the geometry classes: for a line we must have 2 points or 1 point and a direction.
The yellow box located in the bottom-right corner of the map is the Quick Help (
). This box informs you the next step to take to use this mashup correctly.
Some important features (at top-right corner) are:
Start a new path
See the path on Google Earth
For this feature, you need Google Earth installed in your machine, if you don't have it, please click on the link below for download, the result is amazing! Download Google Earth:
Export your path as a web link.
This feature will generate a URL that when is accessed, will show the path that was drawn by you. You can send this URL to anyone or put in your webpage. As Google Earth export, this feature will only be enabled when a path is drawn.
Have fun!
Obs.: If you don't know how to use Google Maps (map movement, zooming, kinds of visualization), I suggest you read Google Maps official help
