KML 2.1 and Google Earth 4 provides support to enable streaming of very large datasets, with "smart" loading of data at multiple levels of resolution and incremental update to previously loaded data. This presentation demonstrates this technology for use with the Google Earth KML geometry and image primitives and shows some techniques and tools for creating this KML.
