Display tracks in Google Earth
A coworker displayed the route he used to commute to/from work on Google Earth but won't tell me how he did it. I have a laptop with GE installed. Can you tell me how to do this. I guess I need something to collect the coordinates, and then create somesort of tracks but any pointers would be helpful. Also, can this be done in real time...
Calculating bounding grid coordinates to a user click on google maps/google earth
Hello, I have a requirement to calculate the centroid or geodesic midpoint of when a user clicks in between the lat/long grid crossing. The crossing forms a square in most parts of GE and sometimes elongated rectangles. This is due to the shape of the earth of course. I'm looking for a valid mathematical formula that would allow a ...

Determine if Google Earth is installed (on Windows)
I have a VB.NET app that generates KML to show within Google Earth. I simply do a Process.Start on the .KML file created. The problem is obviously "what if Google Earth isn't installed" and that's what I want to avoid. Is there a way, in Windows, (not web) to determine if Google Earth is installed? If not, I'll prompt them that it's ...

How to display a moving boat in Google Earth ?
I am new to the KML format and try to figure out how to display a boat (a png), moving from a place to another along a path (a simple line drawn composed of several lines).

Generally our users divide the area off into four or more quadrents and assign other ...
Linking to Wikipedia abstracts (the way Google Earth does it)
I'm embedding Wikipedia pages in my app, and I'd like to show the same simplified abstract that Google Earth shows. (It gives the first several paragraphs and a link to the full content, without any serious layout.) I know about the printable=true option, but that's not what I'm looking for. ...
Liteweight CGI Server to use on local machine to serve KML to Google Earth via Python or similar?
Greetings, I want to write a script that handles simple http requests from Google Earth and sends back KML to display map tiles that are stored locally. I would LIKE to use Python but any language is fine. I have not ever done anything with CGI, but I think this is the simplest way to accomplish my task. This is what the Google KML d...
Google Earth KML with polygones with longitudes greater than 180deg?
Hi, I use polygones in kml files for displaying a rocket's flightpath from ground into orbit in google earth kml files. the problem is, that google earth can't handle longitued greater than 180deg, so when a rocket will circle more than ones around the globe the longitued values has to be recalculated. Is there a way in using longitude...

KML + Google Earth: Big complex overlay with timeline selector?
Got a question regarding overlays and timelines in Google Earth (or possibly other KML-friendly clients). I have data for every minute of the day for a given day that represents a numeric value for various areas on the map, and I want to display that data in a manner that looks basically like a weather radar map. So, for each minute, I...
