Comparison with COM API #24

[not really an issue as such]

How would you compare this with the Google Earth COM API?
http://earth.google.com/comapi/index.html 

Given VS kicks out a PIA for this, isn't that all the managed code wrapper 
we need?

No worries, the main difference is that the COM Api is unsupported by Google 
and is no 
longer in development, whilst the javascript Api is.

Also, just to note the - early binding on the earth client is a nightmare for 
any kind of distributed application as the Interop assemblies need rebuilding 
at each Google Earth version update. If I wasn't using the DLR I would still 
not use the PIA, I would go the reflection route...
