Here's how to do it:
Download any version of Google Earth(c) from http://earth.google.com/. Install it on your computer's Desktop.
Use GeoMapApp to display any data from our many datasets or import your own data.
Try the GeoMapApp demonstration files available at Data for Google Earth. See how to display them.
