  • Upload the image uploaden to your site: /images/image.png.
  • In Google Earth goto the right location
  • Place an overlay on the map and use the url to the image on the site: http://yourdomain.com/images/image.png
  • Save the folder in Google Earth as a kml
  • Check with notepad if in the kml-file the url to the image is correct.
  • Upload the kml-file to your site: /images/kml-file.kml
