Hi all, In response to a request by Lance, I edited a kml file and added the extended data element to one of the placemarks exactly as indicated in my previous post. I was quite surprised to find that when I opened the file in Google Earth, that one placemark behaved differently from all others. Only the placemark with the extended data element opened an information baloon with directions to here / from here links. I had expected that Earth would ignore the extended data element. joe
