A few days ago, we showed you how we’re using the Google Earth plug-in to showcase courses in Google Earth directly on the site.  Now we’ve added the ability for you to embed a course on your site with just a simple line of code!

When viewing a course using our plug-in page (like this one for Bobby Jones), you’ll see a line at the top that says “Embed this map on your site”.  Copy the code next to that, paste it on your site, and that’s it!  When visitors come to your site, they’ll be able to view the course in full 3D, right in their browser!

If you have any questions or problems, please let us know.  In the meantime, here is an example of an embedded course:

Yesterday at the Google I/O Conference, Google released the Google Earth plug-in.  It’s a downloadable plug-in for Windows-based browsers which allows users to view Google Earth content right in the browser!  It’s pretty slick.  For info about the plug-in can be found here.

In an effort to keep our site as useful as possible, we’ve integrated this into all of our course listings.  You can find a link to the plug-in as shown in the screenshot below:

Clicking on the link will prompt you to install the plug-in, if you don’t already have it.  Once you’ve installed it, you can view the course details in 3D without leaving the site!  Here is a screenshot of that:

We hope you find this new feature useful.  If you have any questions or problems, please let us know.
