In their simplest form, network links are a useful way to split one large KML file into smaller, more manageable files on the same computer. So far, all of our examples have required that the KML code be delivered to Google Earth from the local machine. Network links give you the power to serve content from a remote location and are commonly used to distribute data to large numbers of users. In this way, if the data needs to be amended, it has to be changed only at the source location, and all users receive the updated data automatically.
You are mistaking the meaning of local file specification. If you read the documentation it doesn't say anything about a file "on your computer" it actually says. What this means is that the file specification can be relative or absolute - local means local relative to the domain hosting the page, not local on your home computer! Also, the Network Link in foo. Google Earth is an application that runs on your local machine and has access to your local hard drive, the other two are web based.
If you are using the Google Maps API v3, the native object that handles KML is KmlLayer , that object requires the to be publicly available so Google's servers can retrieve it and render it for display on the map.

Comments I just redownloaded and saved the cloud cover map but I noticed that it made it hard to see anything that actually had clouds over it.
So what I did was I expanded the network folder and opened the properties on the layer, the one with the two light blue overlapping rectangles icon. I went to altitude, and set the altitude of the layer to normal cloud height, around meters. Tim, for an even better way to do the cloud map, check out my Blue Marble 2. Thanks, Bart. I need to format my HD. What can I do to save all my favorite mark places, like home, school… and then, move the saved marks to the new installed version of the Google Earth?
Thanks for the attention. I need an application that will produce a map route between a taxicab and a customer. Of course, the customer will be at a fixed location. We need the application to generate a routed map between the taxicab driver and the customer.
That route would then be sent to the taxicab driver and the customer along with the trip information. Can anyone help? Any suggestions? Im having problems and lost allot of work by trying to save files ive made as a kml and then adding as a network link, but after adding some custom icons, saving and closing, it doesnt even pick up the network link after reopening the GE… please help me someone its driving me mad!?
When, however, I added a link to a file on our server, it did not work. The link name appears in the table of contents on the left, but I am not able to see it in Google Earth. I am also not able to view the properties of the file, such as to change opacity, scale of the label etc. Start by right-clicking on the image, which will give you a menu of choices. The address for the image most often will end in. When you have the direct link to the picture, open your marker, click the Add web image… button, paste the link to the image in the Image URL box, and click OK.
The size at which your images will display when the marker is opened depends on the size of the original. If the picture is too large, it will open with scroll bars and may not give your users the best experience. In the example above, the picture is by pixels. I know that because the Wikipedia that hosts this image gives me that information. There are browser tools that can give you the same dimensions but it can sometimes be difficult so a little experimentation may be in order.
Since, as mentioned above, I recommend pixels as the maximum dimension, so, using a little math remember your ratios! To make that happen, change the HTML example above to this by adding the width and height attributes:.
On Flickr , for example, if you are logged into your account which is free or you are viewing an image whose owner has allowed sharing, in the lower right corner you will see the sharing icon a curved arrow pointing to the right. Click it to see your options. Click on Embed, and then select your size from the drop menu. Medium, with pixels for the longest side, is the best for using in Google Earth.
