Updating kml file

[L01]

Hi,

I'm using the kml tutorial (http://earth.google.com/kml/kml_21tutorial.html#updates).

The update works fine but there is one problem; when i load the update kml file, GE don't fly to the new coordinates.
The placemark is well changed.

How can I do that?

Here are my kml files:

Point-load.kml
Code:

---

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
               <NetworkLink>   
                        <name>Loads Point.kml</name>  
                        <flyToView>1</flyToView>
                        <Link>  
                                       <href>/tmp/Point.kml</href>
                        </Link>
               </NetworkLink>
         </kml>

Thank you for taking time to look at it.

Point.kml will be updated but is not reactivated.
If you click it, it will have a changed lookat.
You might try a refreshMode onChange in its calling networklink.

What will work for sure, is the updater have its own LookAt:

Code:

---

<Document>
 <LookAt>

  <longitude>4.36010115937</longitude>
  <latitude>51.8579722222</latitude>
  <range>500</range>
  <tilt>0</tilt>
  <heading>0</heading>
  <altitudeMode>relativeToGround</altitudeMode>
  </LookAt>

</Document>


</kml>

Hi svens,

This produces a fly-to effect when you launch the Update-Load file? That doesn't happen for me. What version of GE are you using?

[svens]

GE4
You need to set the flytoview of the updating network link to 1
So it will fly to the view of the updating file instead of flying to the view of the updated file

nwl data (flytoview off)
file data (doesn't need lookat)
nwl update (flytoview on)
file update (add document containing lookat after networklinkcontrol)

example
