Google Earth can now access OGC WMS services. (followup)

[Julien, Heryk]

Yes,
I haven't figured out what is going. I'll have to look into this. Some wms servers are okay while others are definitely off! But the kmz example I sent you seems to show up correctly in GE.
We have to point out that this is a new beta release. I'm sure the bug will be fixed in a near future.

Have you tried Dapple? Very neat! It's GE like and wms compliant but you need Windows XP to run it.

Hello Again,

I've found what seems to be the correct syntax, but have significant 
distortion/displacement between the  GE layers and WMS image. Did you 
have any trouble with this?

Thanks again!
