| Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | Daniel Tocha | 3/4/09 6:37 AM | I search inside of my computer, the files saved in "my places" and not found anything about this.

| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | Masonicmoron | 3/4/09 7:26 AM | Hi Whilst GE is closed, you can copy your my places file to the correct location on your new disk and it will open automatically with GE. You can normally find it here: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Google\GoogleEarth\myplaces. |
| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | GEManiac | 5/7/09 2:35 PM | I looked on my computer and didn't find "myplaces"...I didn't get to the "Application Data" folder. Could it be somewhere else on my computer? GEM |
| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | Noisette | 5/7/09 3:25 PM | Hmm, that answer sounds familiar ... GEManiac: you probably need to display hidden files, you can do this via the Windows Explorer, Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, and select "Show hidden files and folders". Alternatively, if you want to ta |
| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | GEManiac | 5/7/09 3:35 PM | That did it! Thanks! It also answered some other questions I had...My Places were taking about 5 minutes to load.

| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | JunoJim | 7/17/09 1:06 PM | Masonic - Thank you sooooo much !!! I had a whole bunch of places stored that I could not recover. I had moved my old disk to slave, so I just went in, and found the settings - I've got the location saved now... |
| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | jordanchap | 12/20/09 8:16 AM | How does this work with pictures that I've put into google earth from picasa with a .kmz file? The pictures are in that GoogleEarth folder. Do I need to copy them as well to backup my entire My Places kml file? |
| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | luckycharms | 3/26/10 9:11 AM | note that Google Earth 5 seems to use the following folder on Windows 7 (at least on my installation): C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth That is, instead of the Roaming directory, it uses the LocalLow directory. |

| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | Noisette | 8/28/11 6:47 AM | In Windows 7 it should be here:C:\users\username\appData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth\myplaces.kmlYou'll need to display hidden files to find it. Otherwise, you can save your myplaces file anywhere and open it in Google Earth. It will open in tempora |
| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | pippo46 | 8/29/11 3:40 AM | hi Noisette, thanks for your reply. As I explained above my Google Earth is installed in; C:\Program Files (x86)\Google So, in this case your link & my link appear to be different, however as I have located where I have installed my Google Earth, |
| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | Noisette | 8/29/11 4:48 AM | The Google Earth program is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Google, but your my places data is stored in your profile. Normally it will be at the location I indicated, though it's possible the path may be slightly different. How to display hidd |
| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | pippo46 | 8/29/11 1:06 PM | You'll need to display hidden files to find it."""

| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | pippo46 | 8/29/11 2:11 PM | One last thing, is there any 'AUTO SAVE' settings for MY PLACES before closing GE???? |
| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | Geo Mark | 8/29/11 2:41 PM | Great point, pippo46. There is no auto-save setting, though Google Earth will prompt you to save your newly added/edited Places before closing. |

| Re: Where to find my files saved in "my places"? | nc3d | 7/11/12 3:55 PM | I hope that Google will "fix" this issue someday. On Windows, GE files should be saved to My Documents. Or, better yet, they should be saved to the cloud. I can't tell you how many times I've lost my GE files upgrading computers, switching computer |
