Interesting thing I noticed, is that the first network link (action=createPlacemarkKml ), seems to be repeatedly called

Its only got a onStop (i.e. no onInterval) but the view isn't moving anywhere so why is it constantly refreshing. I guess the reason is the flyToView which means it flies to new view, 'stops' and then issues another request, working in a repeating loop. (but to me it seems counterintuitive that its issuing a 'onStop' event when the view hasn't actually moved ?)
