Store and share your search and favorite places.

Since the launch of Google Earth, users have been able to search the world and create content overlays (KML files) to share the results of their explorations with others. Now, every week we mark the KML file created by the user in the new Google Earth Gallery. You can also choose to add the Google Gadget for your gallery to your iGoogle page.
