¿ªÔÆÌåÓýEasy/hard/tedious depends on your programming skills.Your starting point
should be straight forward. Open a .kml file with a text editor, and study the
content. Keep in mind that each line will need to be drawn at a time. If you
have kmz files, change the extension to .zip. Unzip it, and you will get the
.kml file to look at.
?
HOWEVER
Occult does have this functionality available. Its in the List &
Display form. If you have all the relevant events listed on the form, then you
can create the kmz file you are after with a single click - menu item File... Save all paths as GoogleEarth .kmz
?
All you need to sort out is how you are going to incorporate the events on
that form. If your starting point is OWC, simply copy the Occultation elements
from the OWC page [use the copy button that is provided just above the elements
on OWC] for each event of interest to you, and use the menu option File... Paste one or more XML predictions.

Subject: [OccultWatcher] Multi events export
?
Hello Hristo,
?
I¡¯m thinking to write a small tool for exporting several events at the same
time to Google Earth from OccultWatcher (desktop).
?
The idea is to find the best mobile location for several events in one
night.
?
Until today, I do the following:
- Inspect the list of the events in Occult Watcher and find several events
in one night
- Export each event to Google Earth with a kml file
- In Google Earth look at the intersection of the traces
?
My idea is the generation of one kml file for all the events of one
night.
?
So ¡ is the code for the kml file complicated ? Can you distribute it ?
?
Alternative is first to have a quick check in a separate window with all
the traces together.
Sometimes 4 or 5 events have only ¡°single¡± intersections (where only 2
traces cross together).
?
?
Best regards,
Jean-Francois
