| − | == Network Link ==
| |
| − | [[User: Ideology]] have developed a google earth network link on the beta site

| − | [[User: Riblit]] runs a filter to get the caches down to a manageable level, mine justs filters caches he has checked. If you don't want a filter, delete the FILTER name ="userset" line

| − | The variables will be ok for a default GSAK and Google Earth install.
| |
| − | Copy and paste the code into GSAK's macro editor and save, add a button if you like.
