Network Link and LookAt

[cagell]

Hi all,

I am working in a geolocalization in real time using a GPS and a digital compass. I managed to display the position using a simple KML file and a Network Link through a webserver but here is my question:

How can I do to make GE display the "LookAt" camera view every time the network link is refreshed? I tried with the option "Fly to View on Refresh" but it did not work (the camera is showing an above view)

If I did that I would be able to display the orientation coming from the digital compass!!


Thanks in advance for your help

Can you provide us a KML or a link to check it out? I'm not sure what the problem is, but maybe someone will notice something in your file.

Here is my code....

So when I press PLAY the view is displayed from the file's LookAt but not when I refresh the network link.

BTW the network link is set from GE itself, not in the KML code.

I understand what you mean now, but I'm equally perplexed. Hopefully someone else can offer some insight...
