Google Earth tours are recordings or videos of your personalized traveling experiences through the Google Earth application. If you have viewed interesting and compelling photos of specific locations, you can share these photos with your friends and family by creating a video that allows you to narrate or provide a 'tour' of the photos.

Google displays a series of translucent white latitudinal and longitudinal grid lines over its 3-D maps in some versions of Google Earth. The feature is handy if you’re looking to find the GPS coordinates of a location, for instance. If the grid is of no use to your business, or if you find it temporarily distracting, you can remove it by clicking on the main Google Earth menu or by performing a combination of keystrokes on your keyboard.

Using the Main Menu

1.

Navigate to your desired location in Google Earth. The latitude and longitude lines load at a scale dependent on your zoom level. Loading may take a few moments, depending on the speed of your computer.

3.

Using Your Keyboard

Press the “L” key on your keyboard while holding the “Control” key. Google Earth removes the grid from your map.

Tips

  • On a Mac, use the “Command” key rather than the “Control” key when removing the grid via your keyboard.
  • Repeat the keyboard or main menu procedure to superimpose the grid over your map again.
