You can do this manually by “visiting” the area in question in Google Earth while you’re connected to the Internet, but DestinSharks.com has a post on Google Earth Voyager, a free program that automates that process.

What you could do to avoid the setting up the network link is use the Google Earth COM interface. All you need do then is invoke the COM method loadKML and this starts up GE and flys the route.The cache management tool is interesting though and also something we have played with. In particular trying to put the cache on a mapped network drive so multiple instance of GE can access it. One thing we have found though is that the cache doesn't seem to work across GE versions (i.e. a route cached in GE Pro will not work on the free version). Have you found this as well...?
