Google Earth info/request for Merrill Webb

["John Morgan" <jmorgan480 at comcast dot net>]

Merrill,
Is it possible to configure the birdtalk list-serv so it will accept 
these Google Earth placemarker attachments? Each placemarker file (.kmz) 
is only 444k in size. If that is possible, birders would no longer need 
to include directions to their sightings. Does the server have enough 
drive space to support/archive the added overhead this would create?

I've not yet found a way to cut/paste GPS coordinates to and from the 
application. Though it appears GPS devices can be connected to the 
user's machine and coordinates followed, it doesn't appear that there is 
any way to type in GPS coordinates at text. Bummer. Looks like these 
placemarker files are the only way you can share a location.
Thanks,
John
