Map and Data Search Using Google Earth
Google Earth provides an easy and quick way to search for existing KML´s (Google Earth files) and maps. In the upper left "search" space, type in what you are looking for.
For example, I zoomed in on Zambia and Mozambique and searched for "maps". Placemarks will appear where maps are available. Click on the place marks in order to get the link for retrieving the map. Some maps are in KML format already and can be viewed in Google Earth, like the flood maps created by the ZKI as shown in the image below.

Also try typing in other words like "fish" or "rivers". If there is a city or town with "river" in its name, then you will only receive place name suggestions instead of available data or maps. In order to avoid this, try typing in "rivers in Zambia".

Hey there! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Are you aware making your website mobile friendly? My wepost looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might have the ability to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share. Cheers! Air Ambulance
