The process IS DIFFERENT!

Google paid for updated maps (which anyone can pay for). They will update
the maps AGAIN on Saturday. That's why you MUST load the kml file. That
kml file is the updated maps.

Otherwise, if you do not load the kml file, then you are correct.

Does anyone know the address or coordinates of the airfield that Steve
Fossett took off from?
