I am not a web developer and I have no knowledge about KML files. I am a developer of Visual Basic 6 /Sql Server. What I want to do is.

1. How to call google earth in VB6 if you have internet connection.

2. I have two databases in SQL server. One has latitude,longitude,address fields. in this file different location names are stored against lat/lon coordinates. Coordinates are collected from google earth for some places which are on a particular road. I have another database which has latitude/longitude data collected from a GPS device.

What I want to do is to get the data from two databases and present them on google earth in such a way that the baloon moves on google earth as coordinates change in the GPS coordinates database. I will use loop to move through the GPS coordinates database. When the baloon reaches at any particular location which is stored in another database, it displays the name of that location which is related to that coordinate.

My main purpose is to design a vehicle tracking system using visual basic 6. Later on I can convert this application to ASP.Net for web usage.

Is there any one who has worked on these type of applications or any one who could guide me.

Thanks in advance.
