Drawing Rhumb Lines #301

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Google Earth

Currently when drawing a line between two points GE draws the shortest path 
(Great Circle). It would be nice to to be able to also draw it as a Rhumb-
line (constant heading). 

Work around is to calculate intermediate points on the rhumb line thereby 
increasing the file size substantially.

There should be a Kml selector on LineStrings, Polygons, and LinearRings for 
either GreatCircle or Rhumb to have them drawn either way.
That would be the most flexible.
