In the master of the Liquid Galaxy, access to the folder var/www/html. Inside of this folder you will find a file called queries.txt, inside this file there's a list of places. Every place in this list has an especific format which is the tag .

The purpose of this task is finding a way to insert places more easily creating a script. In order to know the information that we have to include for every place, we use placemarks in the Google Earth.

Once you have created one, you should be able to find the information in the left bar of the Google Earth and then you can click with the right button the selected placemark and Save Place As, change the format of the file to .kml and open with a text editor. In this file, you should find the information tagged with and use this information to be inserted inside the queries.txt.

Send the script and the instructions to reproduce it to lgcodein@gmail.com and post it in the dashboard.
