Additional info:
File is best viewed with all Google Earth maps switches switched to off.
Google Earth program on some devices might not have an option for removal of 3D buildings or 3D terrain function and as such file will not perform as well as it can in cities with 3D buildings data like Lisbon or Porto or where there is 3D data terrain.
On some devices photos used as points of interest illustrations might not open correctly but the rest of information presents well.
Note that Google Earth is continuously evolving and at present works the best on Window devices.
