Setting Touring Behavior

Touring Speed

You can modify touring speed, which controls how fast the viewer "flies" to
each stop in the tour. Keep in mind that setting the tour to a high speed
requires that your cache contain all imagery, or else the earth, road, and
placemark imagery will not be streamed quickly enough to keep up with the
tour.

1. Windows/Linux: Click Tools > Options. Mac: Click Google Earth >

Preferences.

2. Click on the Touring tab.

3. In the Fly-To/Tour Settings area, adjust the speed accordingly.
