Greetings, I see that recent versions of Xastir have the ability to create KML file snapshots. Way cool!
Google Earth can read "static" KML files. However, there's an every better feature: "network" KML files that refresh automatically from a web server on a configurable interval. Here's what I want to do: Run Apache on my Xastir box, and create a symbolic link to ~/.xastir/tracklogs/file.kml so that Apache can serve the KML file and Google Earth can refresh it automatically. Does that sound like it should work? I haven't tried it yet. However, one potential problem I can see is that each KML file created has a different filename based on the date/time. Is there a way I can always point Apache to use the latest file? If not, could Xastir be set to also output a KML with a filename that doesn't change (similar to the way PNG snapshots work)? I can put in a feature request for this if needed. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
