Google Map Plugin

Re the following instruction "In Google Earth, you can right-click a Feature in the Places panel and copy it. To view the corresponding KML for the copied object, open your favorite text editor and paste the selection into it. "

Can someone tell me what the 'Feature' or the places panel is? Nothing I click on the map allows me a 'copy' option. I need this KML file to be able to use the Addin.

It's not clear exactly where those instructions appear or what you're trying to accomplish, but Google Earth is different from Google Maps. There is now a Google Earth browser plug-in which which I think the C5 Google Map plug-in supports if it's installed.

In the greyed out strip at the bottom. Basically when you attach the Google plugin to a block, you have to input the KML file so that the Map updates with your location. Its a mystery how you create the KLM file though... I thought someone might know.

KML files are created in Google Earth, and that's what the instructions are describing.
