It seems that loading Google Earth shows that point initially (even with no layers loaded), then goes to default position - haven't really noticed that before - tend to leave GE loading in the background while doing something else so don't notice that sequence. So that explains that - also why number of users still shows the pattern :) However why getting that? I only have one link that doesn't use onStop - the flight recorder. So it must be that people leave it in record mode (probably accidentally!) so next time GE starts up it records the flight from there - the flight happens quickly so it must happen a lot to get density. Will try another map excluding the flight recorder. Update: seems the recorder isnt included in this graph anyway - have to figure if this is a phemonia from a specific service!... (but it does mean I get to also try plotting the flight recorder as a seperate graph. Ah yes, well almost.

When I first bring up the "Nearby Links" in Google Earth it zooms from that point in the Atlantic Ocean to my default starting location. Could this be the lines you are seeing? Barry, cool maps!
