12/6 - Just finished moving most of this collection to new server and adding several 100 more maps to the collection. Now contains over 1,000 maps and new index system. 7x7 maps don't all work right now since I'm still working on those.

8/24/2007 - Major update to this collection is now underway.

Please re-download the attached network link. Collection now contains an entirely new index system that creates a polygon outline of each map. Just click on the Information Baloon for a link which will turn on a particular map.

Google Earth start up time will not be affected, since the only thing that loads at start up is the small (less than 1K) network link. Nothing else loads until you click on a specific map or collection of maps.

WOW!
Great work, Matt!
My congratulations and 5 stars!

Excellent work Matt! I've written about your collection today at the Google Earth Blog here.

Great work !................Thanks

Darn cool, Matt.

So cool, in fact, that there's a risk people will try to turn on all of the maps at once (or just too many for their computer to handle).

You can use GE to fix this pretty easily by looking at the properties of a folder and selecting "show contents as options".

The relevant KML is explained here:

http://earth.google.com/kml/kml_tags_21.html#listItemType

Basically, you add a ListStyle to whatever styles you have already and give it a listItemType of radioFolder:

Code:

---

<Style id="radioFolderExample">
  <ListStyle>
    <listItemType>radioFolder</listItemType>
  </ListStyle>
</Style>

Fantastic
Thank you

This is a great use for GE

take my homage! great stuff! 5*s! thank you!

Absolutely awesome!!
