One of the goals of this project was to become more familiar with Google Earth. Learning that some government agencies might 'block' a webapp from functioning because of the plugin requirement is valuable information. Another goal was to take on the challenge of updating the mapping data to KML, for use in Google Earth or maps within a Flex application interface. And, seeing the results of that transformation displayed in Google Earth (sitting on top of a Flex web application) is a nice reward. I am hopeful that projects, like this one (and the other mashups), will contribute to building 'communites of interest' around the various technologies and datasets. For which I am excited about also being able to participate. Steve M Gerry, sorry to hear about the blocking, but I look forward to any feedback you might want to share.

Access to the plug-in is blocked by our IT security settings. I'll check it out at home. Gerry Steve
