Follow a moving node?

I'm using the network KML feature to follow a moving node. The problem is that, even if I have the node selected, it won't recenter on the node if the node moves. Is there a way to reselect the node so that I can psuedo follow it around the world?

Sorry I'm slow on this. The automatic loop is generated by making the tour in Keyhole, and not the kml file right? Yeah, I hope this gets fixed. It would help a lot. And by the offset, you mean setting one to 3 seconds, and the other to 4 seconds, for a periodic refresh? thanks!!

Yes, you'll find the tour settings in the preferences panel.
Sorry I wasn't clear about the offset. If you're using perl or php (or some other server-side script) to feed new placemark data (with the <view> tags), the optimal offset depends on a number of things, such as your tour speed and pause time, and the refresh rate. A value of somewhere between 1.0 and 2.5 seconds works best for the majority of (my) cases, but, as I said, you need to tweak. There's no real solution to this (yet).

ink, I have the same problem to follow a moving placemark using network link. Do you have any KML example that you can post on forums? thanks.
