    No – not the airline, but PL!NGS in Google Earth!

    Just thought I’d post up some images of how we are working on this one.

    First, you select the KML link:

    Open the KML file

    Then, your computer should recognise this as a Google earth file (so long as you have GE installed) :

    Open the KML file in GE

    Wait a couple of minutes, and the PL!NGS then magically appear

    Google Earth Map

    Even with a nice menu to the side to filter out the PL!NGS, and then add other layers:

    Our next step is to publish a KML feed so you can automate this. I’ll check tomorrow.

  • Multi formats!

    We had a very productive day today, in terms of getting PL!NG information available now in lots of formats. Check the buttons at the bottom of this listing:

    PL!NGS out buttons

    We got the PL!NG data into RSS, Google Maps, XML, CSV, KML and a widget!!

    Will explain more about these wonderful formats in future posts, but it is great so far!!
