Can Google Earth web plugin support allowing a user to:
1. Use checkboxes to choose multiple map overlays to be displayed, and then
2. Click on a link to start a Tour Player tour, with all of the map overlays chosen in #1 being displayed inside the tour?

I can do #1, and I can do #2, but I can’t figure out a way to have the choices from #1 be displayed within #2.

Here’s a prototype website I’ve created for this project:
http://www.ppacg.org/google_earth/tours-4/

If this is possible, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. If this isn’t possible, I would greatly appreciate hearing that so I can move on to a different approach.

Thanks!

    Assuming by “displayed” you mean “visible”, then everything should work as you expect.

    I was unable to get any layers to load in your demo site, but for example if I load a KML (data.kml) that has some Placemarks or overlays, and then I load a KML with a Tour (tour.kml), and then I enter the tour and begin playing the tour, the content from data.kml will still be visible.

    As an example of this you can modify the playground example of playing a tour by pasting in a portion of another example (such as loading good KML). You’ll note that the content does not disappear when the tour is loaded.

    There are some caveats around whether you have time attributes on your content, but it seems unlikely this is the case here.
