| HOW THIS SERVICE WORKS | |||
| Google Earth is a free, multi-platform, geographic browser. It streams the globe over wired and wireless networks enabling users to virtually go anywhere on the planet and see places in photographic detail. Google Earth is also unlike any public mapping system, because it combines real satellite images and geographic terrain with interactive media. This technology has been utilized by Discover Dalian to present the ultimate tour companion for the historical coastal city. The KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file for the tour you purchased has embedded or proprietary web links to all the information required to make a successful independent journey through Dalian. While different tours have various levels of complexity, each offers the greatest resource of details available. Using Google Earth allows DiscoverDalian.com to maintain its self-tour packages with live updates. Paper or PDF document guides are not offered because they are more difficult to keep pace with rate of change for the city of Dalian. And the power and flexibility of Google Earth allows users to either print the information needed or access via a mobile device. A web-based version of the tour is also available to users on a private and secure page via Google Maps (Free account required). The html interface does limit interaction and features, compared with the Google Earth version. However, the digital map still retains all vital data, language translation support, and visual photographic references. For support and tutorials on how to get the most from the Google Earth software, please visit the official site. You may also download the user guide directly as a PDF file. Requirements: - A computer running either Mac or Windows OS - Broadband or wireless internet connection - Google Earth software (Free download) Optional: - Color inkjet printer - Mobile device (iPhone) with international roaming service - Google Map account (Free sign-up) |
