Journeys Goes Live!

It's official, as of this morning with only minutes to spare before the App My State deadline closed, Journeys took its first steps into the www. It's early days but we are already getting very excited about the potential this site has for encouraging the exploration of cultural heritage using Google Earth as a platform.

If you are using kmz/kml files for research, education and/or recreation please let us know...and if you have the appropriate copyright clearance (e.g. Creative Commons) maybe consider adding them to the Journeys library for all to see!
