In the past I had successfully created several Google Earth tours complete with audio and animation. As best I can remember, I looked at one of my tours 2weeks ago? and things were working fine.
But I look at the tours now on both my local machine and my host web server and the google earth tours have disappeared. When I look in firebug at where the code should be, I see the following error:
Failed to process gadget http://code.google.com/apis/kml/embed/tourgadget.xml. Reason: Unable to retrieve spec for… code.google.com/apis/kml/embed/tourgadget.xml. HTTP error 404
I have not changed anything within my code, so am completely at a loss.
Can anyone share what might have happened or what I need to do to get my GEs going again?
My web site is http://www.kavelookout.com…See http://www.kavelookout.com/fingers.html for where a tour should be.
UPDATE:
I believe this is the GE tour gadget code I need…
but as you can see, clicking on the ‘More info…’ link takes me to… google.com/ig/directory?synd=open&url=http://…
Does anyone know why GE Gadgets is not working at this time? Or what link I should be using to embed GE Tours? Can anyone confirm that GE Tours are having a problem, or is it me?
Much Thanks,

So I figured it out.
The embed code that was generated in the past was…
script src=”http:// http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://code.google.com/apis/kml/embed/tourgadget.xml
I’m not sure why or when it changed, but I found that the GE Tour gadget at this URL…
http://www.gmodules.com/ig/creator?synd=open&url=http://dl.google.com/developers/maps/tourgadget.xml
…now generates this new embed code…notice the differences…
script src=”//www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://dl.google.com/developers/maps/tourgadget.xml
Again, I’d love to know why things changed, but am happy to know there is an answer.
