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 On Mar 12, 9:39*am, "Paul Remde" wrote: 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..

I imagine I'm doing something wrong. *Any suggestions? Thanks, Paul Remde |
