Thanks! That totally worked! I'm hoping to do some more advanced stuff, generating polygons (hopefully server-side) in a KML. I wonder if you or anyone else could help point to a place where I can intercept and manipulate the data that Exhibit is making. (is it/can it be in KML form?) If you're curious, what I'm working on is a more dynamic and faceted in-browser version of this: http://www.mattgilbert.net/article/49/treescrapers-map
