yup of course. this is on my test bench with full internet access, and i tried typing in a city like 'atlanta, ga' in either box and hitting fly to. it doesnt respond at all. any debug text i can look at for an idea? also im using the newest google earth, do i need to be using an old version (i remember reading something about needing beta 4 but i assumed that was for last year)

I honestly haven't tested any latest GE version.. but should work the same way, unless they drastically changed something..

The latest GE version works with the latest Plugin. Thanks Guino.

Hi Guino! Thanks for the new version - but unfortunately it work not correct lokk at the generated GPS.kml":

[GPSLON] is not replaced by the number.

Sorry, that was my bad -- download the new DLL I made (now) from the same place and let me know.

Guino! It works fine now!!! Thanks!

It is still BETA because I myself have glitches when using it -- it takes a lot of time to debug this thing cause it's a non-exact science getting GE to do what you want.

@guino - if you get a chance, could you please look at my post in the lsx thread regarding GE? maybe you could shed some light on what could be happening. i could also upload a video file of it if you are having trouble understanding because its a bit confusing. if you can't get to it right away that's fine too, thanks!

Hi, when I load the plugin in roadrunner, i get an error message, saying:
parse error in net.kml on line 2...
I cant isolate the error, I would appreciate any help!

Thanks,
Stefan
