I used to have that handy Google Earth plug-in from http://ngs.tsqmadness.com/ge/benchmark_150.kmz. Anyone know what happened to it?

I used it this morning.

Seems like Your link has a period at the end. Get rid of that and the KMZ should automatically download, depending on your browser and settings I guess.

Link from within my google earth once the kmz is clicked.

Or go to the home page.

OK. Maybe it's a problem with my browser. I can't get to any of those links with Google Chrome or IE. They both say the site has moved. I'll keep trying. Thanks.

Non-tangent, you do have to turn it on on the layer window in google earth, and tell it to search...set the radius etc....

You might try the same data, but in a different format:

http://explorer.arcgis.com/?open=7e502dbe7efc4a6ebf055595d6a91df6

This is ESRI's new ArcGIS Explorer Online application. If you don't have MS Silverlight installed you'll have to download and install it.

Right now the application is focused over Atlanta, but the data spans the US, so all you have to do is zoom out.

If you click on the Map Contents button you'll open the table of contents (right now just three layers - NGS control, USGS topos and Bing Maps Hybrid as the base), and you can control the opacity for each layer by clicking the right arror (>) next to each layer name.

If you click on the benchmark symbol the data table opens that includes a hyperlink to the Data Sheet.
