Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Google Earth

February 12, 2016

This Sunday is Valentine’s Day. As we do each year we are sharing this collection of heart shapes to be found in Google Earth, which you can also see in this YouTube video. To add to that collection we found a few heart-shaped islands:

Clockwise from top left: 1. Galešnjak, Croatia, 2. Heart Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Australia, 3. Tavarua, Fiji, 4. Makepeace Island, Australia, 5. Anfi, Las Palmas, Spain, 6. Tung Talay Luang, Thailand.

You can view them in Google Earth with this KML file.

The largest known heart in the solar system is actually on Pluto and you can view it in Google Earth with this KML file.

Valentine’s Day in Google Earth

February 14, 2014

Once again, in honor of Valentine’s Day we share some of the best romantic placemarks for Google Earth. To start, you can check out this old entry from Google Maps Mania which includes a wide variety of Valentine’s Day goodies.

Beyond that you can check out the collection of hearts provided by Google Earth Hacks, or see a video of them in action below:

For those of you that are still looking for love, Random Markers has posted a slick little app that shows recent personal ads via the Google Earth plug-in. It pulls the content from Google Base and then displays them in the plug-in. As per the site, it works best in the US because of the higher density of data to use (more personal ads).
If you’re still looking for more Valentine’s Day goodness, you can view a collection of marriage proposals , or check out a Valentine’s Day message from Google Earth Blog, powered by GeoGreeting.com.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
