Well, we've been tinkering around with it all day; we had the airplane icon working, but then as we started playing around with the styles again, it somehow stopped working.

We should be able to set a single style at the top of the KML file that sets the point icon to the airplane, rather than having to specify the icon for each invidiual placemark, correct?

Also, I figured we'd be able to put in a LineString set in the same Placemark as the Point Placemark, but it wouldn't seem to work - the only way we could get the trails to show up was if we created a while new Placemark, which adds to the size of the XML.

Any suggestions? We've been looking through the Tutorial file but we can't seem to find specific instances that help us in this case - they all seem to be split up into different Placemarks...
