Thanks to all that have helped with my questions over the past week or
so.  Really appreciate it!

I now have a pretty slick output to KML.  Using data from our Automatic
Passenger Counting system (GPS and IR enabled buses) we can now use FME
to automatically update and visualize average passenger ons and offs for
every stop in the city every morning, along with bus loads for every
route.  Using the fanout, I have separate 'layers' for each route/key.

So my last question is really just about how to fine tune the output.

I'd like to fly in to GoogleEarth and end up looking at the city from a
certain height and angle instead of from directly above.  I've added the
KML text manually to the output KML file and it works when loaded to GE,
but I can't see how to have FME automatically enter this info each time
it's run each morning:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0
<http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0> ">

  <Document>

<LookAt>
<longitude>-114.080082</longitude>
<latitude>51.0369273</latitude>
<tilt>60</tilt>
<range>15000</range>
<heading>0</heading>
</LookAt>

Using FME help, there's info on the Writer Keywords page for KML, but I
don't see how to add these keywords in using WB.  I've tried just adding
user attributes (DOCUMENT_LOOKAT_HEADING, DOCUMENT_LOOKAT_TILT, etc) and
adding the constant values above, but that doesn't work.  The key is
assigning these values at the document level.

Any suggestions?

Steve
