How do I draw a line and put a point at the end

[CurtTampa]

I create KML files with points, and with lines, I need to draw a line then put the Stick pin at one of the end points.

TIA

Unfortunately you cant draw lines & models unless you have GE Plus, you can see all the differences here

How do I do draw a line with a push pin at the end

[araT]

Ok, go to the add menu and select "Model" draw your line, then go back to the add menu and select "placemark" and place it where you want

I am creating KML files with a VB program. I was looking for the KML code to do this. I can create two placemarks easy. I need it to be one placemark. The Pin should provide data about the line tracking where 'the pin' has been. If I do it as two place marks, it has two check boxes.

Theres no way to do it as one, you'll have to put them in a folder and use the folder's checkbox to control them

CurtTampa,

Maybe the attached file will help you a bit further along; it's a kml file with two placemarks and a line in it. Note that the starting and ending points of the line are identical to the placemarks. Maybe you can derive from it's code how to implement it for your project.

The code is:
