With polygons, I only see popup text when there's something included
in the "Description" box for the item's properties, even a blank
space. Another option is to add a path instead of a polygon,
especially if you don't plan on filling it it anyway. You can create
an xml (or gpx) file for a path that's based upon the actual legal
description.

Draw a polygon around, let's say, the entire NTTR area,

How do I get GE to NOT consider the inside of the polygon
as non-active? ie, whenever my mouse cursor is anywhere
within the boundary, the little "cartoon" popup shows
up.
I JUST want the line around the perimeter to be active.
Not the entire contents of the polygon.
Current settings:
LINES Width 3.0 Opacity 100%
AREA Outlined Opacity 0%
Doesn't matter how I set the AREA parameter.
Outlined, Filled or Filled+outlined, I get the
same active polygon.

The current rev of GE reads garmin gdb now as well as gpx. I'll second
creating the file outside of google earth. One problem with GE is the
coordinates are not exactly on the money. You are better off using
documents with actual coordinates. I've been updating my sbs overlays,
and probably could write a script to generate them as gpx. In fact, if
I had any brains, I would have started the project in gpx then
scripted to the sbs-1 format.
It would be a good project to take the legal description of Groom Lake
land grabs and make a gpx file. Better yet, maybe overlay it to that
free topo file.
BTW, I'd like to get a garmin car nav for rental car use and also
uploading a topo with trails. It's just a bitch to see my gps60csx
screen while driving. Are all the Garmim Nuvi's mapsource compatible?
