KML controls

Several buttons on the prediction page are associated with the KML (prediction path):

The globe button (or pressing k) toggles whether the KML (occultation prediction) overlay is shown on the map or not. Turning it off can make the underlying weather more visible when the KML lines are close together.

The letter-A button (or pressing l / "el") toggles whether labels for KML points are shown or not.

The inward-pointing-arrows button (or pressing i) toggles the size of KML icons. By default they are shown normal size, but toggling the button makes them smaller, revealing more of the surrounding weather imagery.

The overall KML name and description are shown below the GUI controls (below the imagery timestamps). Hovering or clicking on a map KML element (e.g. a line or icon/point) highlights it on the map, and adds its details -- layer name/description and placemark name/description -- to the lower left info area. Clicking outside the map (on the page background) un-highlights the currently-highlighted KML element (if any).

This button downloads a copy of the KML or KMZ for the prediction. If none is available, it is disabled (greyed out). The KML may have been copied from OccultWatcher Cloud or another prediction site, or auto-generated by this site from Occult elements XML.
