Can network link reference multiple kml/kmz files?

[townie]

I'd like to have a network link KML that calls up several KMZ files within it. Is this possible or must I combine all data into one KMZ?

The approach I'm trying is outlined below. It works initially (displaying both dataset1 and dataset2) when the file is first loaded, but one of the links is always broken by refresh time. Also the connections to both datasets are lost when I try to save the network link KML to 'My Places'.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">
<NetworkLink>
<open>1</open>
<NetworkLink>
<name>DataSet1</name>
<visibility>1</visibility>
<open>1</open>
<Url> <href>http://www.mysite.com/kml/dataset1.kmz</href>
<refreshMode>onInterval</refreshMode>
<refreshInterval>3600</refreshInterval>
</Url>
<refreshVisibility>1</refreshVisibility>
</NetworkLink>
<NetworkLink>
<name>DataSet2</name>
<visibility>1</visibility>
<open>1</open>
<Url>
<href>http://www.mysite.com/kml/dataset2.kmz</href>
<refreshMode>onInterval</refreshMode>
<refreshInterval>3600</refreshInterval>
</Url>
<refreshVisibility>1</refreshVisibility>
</NetworkLink>
</NetworkLink>
</kml>

Thanks for your help!

If you rewrite it to use folders to group the networklinks then it should work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">

<Folder>
<open>1</open>
<name>My Network Links</name>

<NetworkLink>
<name>DataSet1</name>
<visibility>1</visibility>
<open>1</open>
<Url> <href>http://www.mysite.com/kml/dataset1.kmz</href>
<refreshMode>onInterval</refreshMode>
<refreshInterval>3600</refreshInterval>
</Url>
<refreshVisibility>1</refreshVisibility>
</NetworkLink>
<NetworkLink>
<name>DataSet2</name>
<visibility>1</visibility>
<open>1</open>
<Url>
<href>http://www.mysite.com/kml/dataset2.kmz</href>
<refreshMode>onInterval</refreshMode>
<refreshInterval>3600</refreshInterval>
</Url>
<refreshVisibility>1</refreshVisibility>
</NetworkLink>

</Folder>
</kml>

Using two serperate links is probably better as then the user can opt to turn off only one link. Or use the folder tickbox to affect both.

Thanks a lot! Your suggestion worked...multiple network links can be nested within folders, but not a document tag or another network link.
