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

Hi Paul,
I bet your using IE, right? I asked John L to post it to his
webserver because he has the server mime types set so it "should" open
the "Save" box not just display the contents of the file. In Firefox
and Chrome, it opens the window that allows me to "Save" or let's me
open it google earth. However, you should be able to right click on
the link in the RAS posting and do a Save As. Then you should be able
to double click on the downloaded kml file and it will open in Google
Earth. If that doesn't work for you or anyone else, I can email it,
just let me know. But the save as should work. Saving it in your
browser probably doesn't keep all of the info in the file formatted
correctly.

Related to IE 6 though and previous posting. While it is working, it
is popping up error boxes that none of the other browsers or IE7+ seem
to be having a problem with. I'll look into that.

Later!
-Mark

Hi Mark,

I'm looking forward to trying it in Google Earth. *I just upgraded to the
latest version of Google Earth today, but I can't seem to get the link below
to work. *It simply opens a text file in my browser window. *I tried saving
the text into a text file with a .kml extension and double-clicking on it..
Google Earth tries to open it, but it gives an error as follows:

Google Earth Error
Open of file seniors.kml failed: Parse error at line 1, column 2: *XML or
text declaration not at start of entity.

I imagine I'm doing something wrong. *Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Paul Remde
