Default SPOT Tracking For 2009 Senior Contest at Seminole Lakes, Florida

Related to this topic, I've been able to enhance my application so
that it can now output KML quite nicely. I put together a small kml
file that contains network links for showing the SPOT trackers,
current task and the other turnpoints. This file can be opened by
Google Earth for viewing. Google Earth is by far the best depiction
of this information as I'm able to rotate the airplane symbols to show
the general direction of travel of each participant. John Leibacher
has graciously agree to host the kml file to allow for easy access.
The link to it is:

For those whose computers just aren't quite up to the task of running
Google Earth. The original page is still available at:
http://www.soaringpilot.org/snspotmap.htm

The only thing it doesn't show is the rotated icons.

Enjoy!!
