At first your demo appeared not to work but after waiting for several minutes, it finally came to life after I zoomed in on a very small area (a few square miles). However, after zooming out to a broader area, it stopped working. It seems excruciatingly slower than GE is for satellite images of the same area (Lake Wanaka). I'd gladly pay $100 USD for a couple of DVDs that contain overlays I could install on my hard drive so I could browse any area of NZ without having to wait for minutes. Oh, and maybe you could work on making the retrieval go faster as you hinted at.</blockquote> Sorry about the speed issue. The server that the NZ maps are on is in the middle of a 60+ gigabyte upload that will take a several more days to complete, so I think that is probably causing problems right now. Due to tax reasons, I'm only able to sell digital downloads and would be looking at a 10 gigabyte download for the NZ maps so not sure how practical that would be to download. But....thanks for reminding me about this problem. A couple things. 1) I just made a small tweak that should help significantly, so please let me know if they are loading any better. Note that you should right click on the layer and select "refresh" to see the improvement. Keep in mind that the batch upload is still going on right now so will probably still be slower than normal for a few more days, but you should still see some improvement now. Also, I'm going to try recompiling the maps using a different method, but I'm not sure yet if that will work or not due to the enormous size of this overlay.

I want Terrain, but I get Maps. I don't see an attribute that distinguishes the map types other than the name (the link is the same for maps, satellite and terrain). I am using Terrain within the tags, but I get maps. What am I missing? Thanks for the tool and any further help! I am trying to have the script load with my kml file (gps track) and I’m 90% there.

As if no one ever flies or travels anywhere else in the world. London Heathrow has a huge amount of world flights each day as does the rest of Europe and Asia too. Useless unless you want to track only one country. This is silly since it ONLY covers the United States. As if no one ever flies or travels anywhere else in the world.

It appears to be off by quite a bit, as the terrain area is not recognizable. Zoomed out it is fine. Probable coordinate system error?

The green placemarks represent LiDAR tile sets in 1/4º x 1/4º grids. The network links to the LiDAR are visible in the kml; feel free to use these for any non-profit work. - Michael Greetings:
