Requirements
In order to use this extension you need the latest version of Google Earth which may be downloaded for free from http://earth.google.com. We have noticed that some early versions of GE do not work with the extension because they cannot handle certain characters. This problem appears to have been fixed in the current beta versions and we recommend that you update in any case.
(Since many programs are beginning to support KML files, you may find this download works for other viewers).
How to Use
Download and load the KML file above containing the Network Links. The dynamic data, both current definite and experimental interfaces, will be loaded and shown on screen. Once you have saved these into your My Places, the data will be refreshed from archatlas.org automatically whenever Google Earth is reloaded.
Please also note Disclaimer regarding co-ordinate accuracy
