INVISIBLE PATHS

A little tip via the latest issue of SIGHTSEER.

You can create a tour that follows an invisible path. This is helpful if you want create a movie that follows a very specific route, but do not want to show a path or any placemarks. Just create a path with the color opacity set to 0% and play a tour that follows that path.
