So for now I just thought I'd throw this out there, and see what the reaction is.

Very, very cool, McDarren! especially seeing as how Google Earth is now available for Linux. One minor nit (and I think this afflicts the Big Monk Map too, so it's possibly some shared code somewhere)... negative longitude values between 0 and -1 seem to get parsed as their absolute values.... e.g. my -0.33" position is interpreted as 0.33"
Other than that, very very cool. ++
