Route For Last Day In Norway
This post come courtesy of two events that have occured at just the right moment. Firstly, the latest version of Google Earth 4 (4.0.2416 beta) now makes it possible to create paths and polygons in the free version, which was previously only available in the Plus version. Secondly I have just submitted my claim form for the accident I had in Norway in 2005 (don’t ask why its taken so long).
To cut a long story short I have made available the route that I would have taken from Skei (in Sogn og Fjordane) to Bergan on my last day in Norway. Unfortunately I crashed my bike in Skei but now I can use the “Tools -> Play Tour (Ctrl + Alt + P)” to see what I was missing. It looks its best if you have the terrain layer enabled so that you fly through between and over the mountains.
Most cool… I like to tour option… think I may have to play with GE and learn to do more than the usual ‘can I see your garden?’!!
Well, I’ve been in contact with Digimap.gg again asking if it would be possible to have a full island image for use in GE, as they said this may be an option after I had my meeting with them… I’ve yet to hear back.
If I do get it then you may well be able to see your garden in GE.

So far its take about 5 hours spread over three evenings and I’ve got as far as Stryn – the town I stayed in the night before my crash. [...]
