There is a Dutch website that has all of the routes in kml/kmz (google earth) format available to download. The website is available in a variety of languagesHi,
for some time I've had The Camino Frances & VdlP showing as yellow lines in GE. For some reason, unknown to me, GE removed them some time ago. I want them back!
I don't remember where/how i got them installed, and hope someone can help me out, for the benefit of myself as well of many others, for sure.
It is great to be able to turn on Street View and "walk" through familiar places on different Caminos.
I am sure some member here knows how to get the tracks for different Caminos showing up on GE?
Thanks!
Thanks for all suggestions!If you can get your hands on the actual GPX or KML files you just import them. Is this what you are looking for? This is a flyover of Brindisi on the VF nel Sud.
It looks even better on the phone app version
I downloaded all Spanish Caminos from that website, double-clicked on the the downloaded file, and it seems to work!There is a Dutch website that has all of the routes in kml/kmz (google earth) format available to download. The website is available in a variety of languages

Thanks for all suggestions!
But the issue is: How can I "import" such tracking files into GE so that it shows (like an overlay on GE, so I can zoom in and eventually go to Street View?
You can change the line color. For a desktop version of GE:I downloaded all Spanish Caminos from that website, double-clicked on the the downloaded file, and it seems to work!
Problem is: Some parts of some Caminos are shown in grey: Hard to see. So this is still a work in progress. But many thanks to you for this!
That did the trick! Now It's just a quick job with colours and line width. (Old man...). Thanks a lot again!You can change the line color. For a desktop version of GE:
Right click on the grey line in the KML file in My Places. Select Properties. That opens the Edit Path window. You can vary the line width and color in the Style, Color tab.
That website you linked to is a treasure trove! I've added all routes in Portugal now!There is a Dutch website that has all of the routes in kml/kmz (google earth) format available to download. The website is available in a variety of languages

Happy to share and glad you found it useful. The site owner has a ton of information on the site. It’s been a great planning tool for me also.That website you linked to is a treasure trove! I've added all routes in Portugal now!
Thank you so much, @Evan White !
Do not look back unless you want to go there. (I {WHBM} would add "one needs to look back to see where you have come from before you can know where you are going")
I'll try to explain, but surely @Evan White (thank you again!) can do it betterHi alexwalker (and/or Evan?)
My understanding from the conversation above is that you now have a clear and accurate way of tracking and following the camino paths at street level. If either of you have some downtime over the winter months I'd be very grateful if you could put together a complete idiot's guide on this, please?
Maybe start by describing the outcome you've arrived at and then go back to the beginning..
Inputs in particular - what are the system requirements (phone, pc, operating system version, memory etc), software to be downloaded, file types and their relevance (that's where the Dutch site lost me). How you put it all together and do the overlaying etc.
I always imagined that the virtual camino walking groups already used something like this, in which case I'm sure one of the members of those will pop up and expalin this is old news. But if not, I guess this approach may be useful for those groups too. In which case the end product might deserve a sticky - the highest honour that the forum currently confers...
Cheers, tom
