This is really great stuff. I'm writing a story on this at the Google Earth Blog. I do have a suggestion for improvement: make your network link be nested network links where each subfolder is a network link. That way you only download the currently "clicked-on" subfolder and it will load a lot faster without really creating a lot of work. It will also mean less impact on your server.

I also recommend you save the network link with the selected "amateur satellites" folder open so people can quickly understand what is going on.




Excellent suggestions...

We've changed the config around a bit and now each category of satellite is it's own nested network link. We've also taken the images back out of the kmz file to help with file size so it should load much faster. This also solves a build time problem we've been experiencing as each file is now built seperately and not all at once, so we'll be adding more satellites!

The amateur folder should now be expanded by default but we've got to play around with it a little more to make sure it's working correctly.
