Rob,
Tried this, but it didn't work for me.
The file downloaded using this method is only 4 KB in size and returns
an error when I open it from Google Earth ("Unexpected element 'HTML'").
Double-clicking the file has the same outcome. I suspect that only the
HTML link itself was downloaded, not the linked file.
Simplest thing would be for Duncan to post the file on the chat line, as
he proposed at the meeting.

Hi Everyone,
It is possible to get the file from the COG website.
In Mozilla firefox, right click on the link and select "Save Link As" from the
pop-up menu. You can then save the file to your desktop.
In Internet Explorer, you should be able to right click on the link and select "Save
Target As" then save the file on your desktop.
Sorry, but I don't know how this is done with a Mac browser.
The reason the link doesn't work if you left click on it is because your browser doesn't
know what to do with a ".kmz" file, but more importantly neither does the web
server. If what I just said is gobbledegook, never mind, just follow the instructions
above and you should be able to get the file onto your PC for use with Google Earth.
Don't forget you have to go to Google, download and install Google earth before you can
use the grid overlay.
Hope this is some help!
Regards,
Rob
