Have fun building with the map in 3Dwe can’t wait to see the amazing things you’ll build. is a little older than whats in Google Maps aerial or Street View photography.

Here's an example of a Fly-Over of a route from plotaroute. WebGL Overlay View is made available in the Maps JavaScript API by creating an instance of . When you create a 3D model that you want to display in Google Earth.

A viewing distance of around 300m usually works quite well.

You can alter the viewing angle and viewing distance in the Touring tab in Google Earth Settings/Preferences - a viewing angle of 70-80 degrees will give you a good view of the hills and the route comuing up.

You can view an animated Fly-Over the route by clicking on the 'Fly-Over Tour' item in the left panel (arrow 1 below) and then clicking the Play Tour button (arrow 2 below).

Once the file has downloaded, simply click on it to open the route in Google Earth.

Then select KML as the GPS download file format and choose whether you would like to include mile/km markers.

Select Download from the menu above the map.

You can also download the Google Earth app for mobile devices from your app store and view the route in Google Earth on your smartphone.

You will first need to download and install Google Earth if you don't already have it.
