In the free Software Google Earth is it possible to use own data and to connect this with a website. In the free encyclopedia Wikipedia some Wikipedian support the WikiProject Geographical coordinates, where they include coordinates in the articles. I use this coordinates to create a dataset for Google Earth.

Installation:
First extract the Zip-File. The dataset has the KMZ-Format and must be open in Google Earth (Menu File/Open).
Attention:
The big number of coordinates can be a problem for slow computers, e.g. when indicating the many localities in Central Europe or North America.
The dynamic KML-File of Tim Alder use only the important points of a view.
Test it and have fun! Stefan Kühn
