Google is testing out a new way for you to show your friends exactly where you’ve been or where you want to go. Yesterday, the company made new Google Earth tools public so that users can create their own guided tours, superimposed over a map. The web-based tool is called Earth Tour Builder and it could be the best new way to dole out travel advice. Eat it, maps.
Google already has similar offerings, like its Google Virtual Tour Creator, released earlier this year, but the new Earth Tour Builder is more granular, letting users drill down to the street view to mark specific spots they’ve been or want to go.
