Is it possible to go direct to a google location?

[WestRowOps]

I am compiling a list of airfields of the world [a Hobby project], I can views of airfields I want to look at by entering the Lat/Long manually from the online search.

Does anyone know if it it possible to go direct to a location without opening Google and using online search?

i.e something like http://google.earth.com?Latitude=50.90007&Longitude=-80.23456

thanks in anticipation :confused:

no - you can do this with Google Maps, but not with Google Earth.

a compromise to the idea would be to upload the kmz on a server somewhere, then just link directly to the KMZ download file

I have found that this works to pinpoint a GPS location

46 35 25 N,112 01 58 W

These are coordinates for the Cathedral of Saint Helena, MT

I found the coordinates on the site http://www.lat-long.com/

Degrees Minutes Seconds:
Latitude: 463525N
Longitude: 1120158W

This is how it is listed. Just convert it to the format shown above.

You mean something like this:

http://www.fox-fam.com/gefiles/Airports.kmz

Includes placemarks for about 10,000 airports in the world :)

I need to make a couple small changes and then will upload this to the file library.

Are you going to make your list of airfields available for GE? There seems to be a lot of them already. Not sure where I got them?!
