Feedback from the map Czar, Doug.
"Below is the contents of the batch file with the wget. the italicized all caps words are things I took out to anonymize the information.
cd /users/NAME/documents/FOLDER /Windows/GnuWin32/bin/wget http://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/kml?mid=FI +LE ID --no-check-certificate
This saves it to the folder in the batch file with the name kml@mid=FILE ID.NUMBER Then all you have to do is rename it NAME.kmz and it works perfectly. there might be a better way with the file names but this works fine for our purpose. it only has to be renamed if I need to restore the map. so far it is churning away as planned. I appreciate the help. you probably have more time in finding this solution than I do in setting up the map."
Doug is running the .bat file hourly using Windows Scheduler. Thanks again to all that contributed.
