    To start the tour, download and open the “Hayward Fault Map and Tour” file in Google Earth (free download), then click the “Play Tour” button located at the bottom of the “Places” panel. Bundled with the map and tour are: 1) photographs showing evidence of creep and other aspects of faulting, 2) locations of creep, 3) locations of exploratory trenches crossing the fault, 4) moving landslides (from InSAR, only available for northern Berkeley Hills), and the kilometer grid used in the published map.
