Now you can see what ROW is doing around the globe, literally!
ROW mission trips can now be viewed as place marks inside of Google Earth. It’s a great way to visualize the incredible distances ROW travels when helping others!
You can download Google Earth for free here. Then, grab the ROW Layer For Google Earth.
Enjoy!

I’m trying to use Google Earth to follow the Mission Trip that Drew is on now for the Medical Clinic in Siguatepeque, Honduras with 17 members from his home church, Vance Memorial Presbyterian Church, Wheeling, WV. They have a medical team, construction group, as well as all are willing to as much Christian education as possible … the group has been ordained as missionaries for this trip with solar Bibles, materials, etc. to go into the villages in the evenings. There’s alot of excitement and interest here at home.
If this googleearth tool can be given (particularly to those who have family on this trip)
it would be great. Hopefully this will be the first of mission trips
to come with ROW on other projects.
I remember that Ben did a good video walking the roads going into the Clinic, but I can’t remember specifics and could not find that particular video again.
Is this project going to be marked with “ROW” to click on or is there markings that I could follow to find the clinic.
Wiz, if this is you again. “Hello”. I haven’t talked with you for awhile. But you were great to see that I got downloads and things before!
If this is someone new, if you could help me I would appreciate it. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you! Drew’s Mom.
It IS the Wiz! Glad to hear from you again!
The video you were referring to (the one with Ben walking) was featured on the front page of our old website and unfortunately, in all of the stuff we had to do to switch to the new website, I failed to get those videos reposted on the proper page. Thanks for letting me know. I have corrected the problem and you can now find the embedded video along with a couple of others on the January, 2009 post about Honduras. The link is: http://www.row.org/index.php/honduras-visit-january-2009/

The GoogleEarth issue is going to be a bit tougher. Since GoogleEarth is a program you install on your computer and the GoogleEarth ROW project is just a collection of general points of reference for ROW’s projects around the world it will be more difficult to provide that in a video format. You would have to have some kind of screen capture software installed on your computer and that is something I can’t provide. I would also point out the world is not always a safe place, and ROW has intentionally left the project markers in GoogleEarth as generalized as possible, therefore it would be difficult to use GoogleEarth to specifically retrace team movements within a country.
I hope this helps!
