Melissa Henning

6:58 PM

If you do, your bandwidth issue could be because of having Google Earth and this webinar open at the same time. To log-off of Google Earth, but stay "on" you can click on File>log-off server. That will save you some bandwidth

Gretchen Sting

What a wonderful way to absorb information!

Jennifer Wagner

7:42 PM

just found out I live 2.2 miles from work. :)

can you MOVE a placemark after it has been placed???

7:42 PM

I have cut/paste before

I know they recently upgraded though, not sure if I have since then. Hold on and I will check it out :)

7:43 PM

Aimee

7:43 PM

How do you move a placemarker after you place it. . . can't seem to move it.

Jennifer Wagner

7:44 PM

nope -- it is stuck --- it is at my apartments but I cannot place it OVER my apartment ;)

Melissa Henning

7:44 PM

You can move a location within a tour by cutting and pasting

If you want to move an actual placemarker, you do need to start over, I believe. You can copy the information out of the text though to save some time. That is how it appears to me.

7:45 PM

Jennifer Wagner

7:45 PM

I cut it -- but then PASTE was not an option

no worries -- but thank you

7:46 PM

Susan

7:47 PM
