Frank,

Can't help with the USA I'm afraid

There are actually two kml files - the first sets up a network link call to a php script on my server. The php script is the one that actually scrapes the Forestry website and dynamically generates the final kml file with the full data. This second script takes a few seconds to run and download - hence the delay where you see an icon in the sidebar but no details.

Not sure how I can tell GE to fly around to the UK after it finishes loading - but Im hoping someone can tell me!
