What we're looking at is dynamically creating the KMLs that look to the APRS-IS, connect for receive-only and snag the data directly, I think. There may also be a path to have Xastir spawn a client process to fire off GoogleEarth and act as the server for the KML seeks. I've not thought through this, so someone else should take the lead and go for it. I'll be glad to take issues/concerns/questions back to the Google developers as I see the team every 2-3 months at Open Geospatial Consortium meetings.

One question to the dev's. Is it possible to integrate google maps into
Xastir?
It's been talked about.  Gerry Creager did some asking of the Google
guys and they said something to the effect of:  "Yes, please use
it!".

Just need a developer with a bit of free time and the desire to look
into it.
