I am continuing to explore ideas in using my “Life Wall” for professional and academic purposes, such as presentation of a scientist’s thematic contributions and achievements. I have been testing out ways to describe professional life events as “Placemarks” described in KML and to add them to Google Earth or Google Maps.
An example on my Life Wall Pro version with some locations I have current profesdsional contacts with is at: View Life Wall Pro – Google Map Element
Some background to the XML used for KML Placeholders is here:
