I am having a problem with getting rotation to work within KML. I am generating my KML using mod_wsgi Python script. I have a simple circular icon, and would like to have it rotated on a map according to a direction of travel. I would like this to be done on the backend by Python rather than having to write javascript code to do it. Is this possible using KML? I have seen few examples of it, most of which are done in javascript and some in KML but for Google Earth. Thanks for your help. Here is the output code. I have tried placing the rotation in the Icon style, for the point, etc, nothing seems to work.
