I get an “unknown file type” error when I try to open the Google Earth tours on the site; what is wrong?
First make sure that Google Earth is installed on the computer you are using. If it is not, then you must either a) install the program using the download buttons provided, or b) ask your system administrator to grant you access to the program somewhere on the network. By default, clicking on the link will open a dialog box that asks if you want to “open” or “save” the identified KMZ (or KML) file stored at friendsofcdatrails.org. If trying to “open” the desired file gives an error, but you believe that Google Earth is indeed available to you, then “save” the desired file to a personal directory. Use your file manager (e.g., Windows Explorer) to associate this file (and all others with the same extension) with the accessible Google Earth program (i.e, use the “open with” command).
