Melaka, Malaysia, uses Google Earth for tourists
AmazingMelaka.com displays common tourism attraction placemarks using Google Earth to further the tourists’ geographical understanding about Melaka, Malaysia, and to provide a virtual tour of this city. This complements the maps they already have. The Google Earth Melaka placemarks program is new, with coverage limited to major attractions. Details are to be added. Not all placemarks have hyperlinks to make direct contact with the destination.
AmazingMelaka.com also gives newcomers to Google Earth step-by-step instructions. This is a nice touch.
