Seems like EarthCache is broken. We started getting errors 3 days ago.

I don’t know if you know, but there is a discussion on Geocaching.com,
about A. Your Wonderful kml file, and B. Geocaching.com integrating with Google Earth.

Hi There,
I just finally downloaded Google Earth to see if there was info on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I read some of the tutorials on how to post a placemark and placed two into the Fun and Games section of the Google Earth Keyhole BBS: our official Forks Geocache and webcam. I tried a search for geocache to see where others may have posted their own geocaches on the BBS, and found your geocache conversation in the Dynamic Data Layers. I wonder where I should put my placemarks. I will continue checking the help online. Anyway, I will bookmark your site and check out your KML. It is disappointing the lack of response you received from Geocaching.com.

Wow this is very nice. I never knew about Geocaching until I saw your post on the BBS forum. Heh, I saw a few caches near my area. I might start looking for them soon

Very nice piece of work. When I saw the Google Earth demo at Siggraph this week, the first thing that popped into my mind (after WOW!) was … this would be awesome for geocaching! And it is! And fun… while showing GE off to a coworker we went to see his hometown in poland - and lo! some caches showed up!!

quite cool!

I’ve had great succes importing Pocket Query GPX-files from geocaching.com or exported from GSAK into Google Earth.

But this little script of yours works nicely for places where you haven’t gotten any GPX-files.

If you publish your web-page script so others could put it on their own homepages, you might take the load of your site, so you hopefully avoid being blocked.

Andy: I’ll certainly make it available in a day or two… I was planning to add a little more info from Geocaching.com, but I might just leave it this way.

Stavn: Good idea — but given the problems I’ve had with Geocaching.com blocking this script, I’m going to hold off until I hear back from them. It wouldn’t be using my bandwidth, because the images are downloaded directly by the end client.
