Here is a simple way to achieve the simple gray rounded rectangle of yester years.  Courtesy of tech tutorials and their great little YouTube tutorial

RaceTracker javascripts & notes

This post contains notes on building our 'Virtual Eye for the Sailing/Racing Guy' (VERG) race tracking program.  The system takes multiple KML/GPX/KMZ files and assembles them into a file to be displayed in 3-D on Google Earth.  The Google Earth screen can be embedded into your website.  The VERG screen has a playback control which allows the playback, forward, reverse and playback speed controls.  This control along with Google Earth's pan, tilt & zoom controls allows for great viewing and analysis of races.
