The Google Earth (available for MacOS X, Windows and Linux) files, will draw the solar eclipses paths and limits across the Earth’s surface (using 5MCSE Besselian elements from Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus, NASA/GSFC). The umbral or antumbral northern and southern limits of a solar eclipse are plotted in pink while the central line is blue. After having been nine years online, the content of those files has been updated mid-2013 and synchronized with the one produced by my "Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses" tool.
The "dynamic local circumstances predictions at the click’s location", a feature available with my interactive Google maps, can’t be implemented as is because the Google Earth client application provides no means of getting the current pointer position. However, by clicking on the framed cross-hair cursor  always located at the center of the view, you will obtain the local circumstances at that location (have a look at this sample). The Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses Database will give you access to every eclipses over the -1999 to +3000 period and will let you generate those files on your own.
When a link is followed by this symbol  , it means you have two different files. The first one is a plain Google Earth file; the symbol, being the second one, is a self-contained Google Earth file with new high resolution satellite image overlays. These images include material copyrighted by Space Imaging LLC. Permission to distribute, sell, license, copy or reproduce these files isn’t granted. Alter or remove any copyright notice or proprietary legend contained in is forbidden. Instead, please provide this Web page address to anyone wishing to use the Google Earth files and ask me if you have any special needs.
You can then overlay meteorological data files with the eclipse path or have a look at the Google Earth Gallery.
