This tutorial shows you how to view your active map layers in Google Earth. Although you can export map layers for offline use with Google Earth, you can also use Overture to serve maps to Google Earth directly. Note that this functionality requires that you have Google Earth installed on the same computer as Overture.

To set up a connection, all's you need to do is click the View Maps in Google Earth toolbar button, as highlighted below:

The layers you see in Google Earth are served up by Overture, and Overture must be running for the connection to work.

You can also use this function to show your active map layers to a colleague on your intranet. To do this, you first need to copy the connection link to the clipboard:

You can then paste this link into an email or IM client. This link will enable any computer on the intranet with Google Earth installed to view your active map layers.
