    I'm not sure I'd call that 'open' so much as 'asks for free labour'. All you can do is give Google data; you can't turn around and use it they way you can with Open Street Map.

    I just can't find a way to have the tile cutter plugin working on photoshop cs4

    EDIT:
    Just found another Java API that handles this function.
    The links mentioned above are dead

    I am also interested in adding multiple layers to google earth. In my RPG, I use the actual earth as my campaign setting. I am looking to ad layers that consist of locations such as villages, towns, and cities as well as territorial borders. I have been using place markers and polygons that are built into google earth, but I was wondering if anyone know of some tutorial or software that is built for this kind of thing? I also want to Darken the world map, creating a sort of inverse polygon, so that i can where my players have been and where they haven't been. Any help would be great!
