View in Google Earth

A lot of users don't know that Google Earth can be used to travel through time. I used this capability to create a geocalendar of the Belgian music festivals that take place in the months of June, July and August 2008.

In order to navigate through time, you use Google Earth's timeslider. The timeslider appaers when you've loaded layers containing time data in the program and you move the cursor to the central region at the top of the visualization window. You can see the timeslider in white at the top in the images.

You can

• drag the timeslider to move through time
• make the timeslider wider and more narrow to adjust the time interval shown
• let the timeslider move automatically and watch time go by
