[Geowanking] Flickr and KML

[Stuart Eve]

Cheers both

Looks like it will be cleaner to get in and have a crack with the API,  
although as Andrew suggests a nice quick dirty fix would be to loop  
through the pages using the NetworkLink. I was kind of hoping to be  
able to add a simple &page=all but I guess not!

thanks again

Stu
