Watermarks are a simple shortcut for creating a ScreenOverlay in the lower left-hand corner of the Google Earth view window.
Watermarks require the overlay icon (specified using the WATERMARK_ICON directive). An optional name & snippet, which is displayed in the Google Earth tree) can also be provided. The WATERMARK_NAME and WATERMARK_SNIPPET directives are used to specify the name and snippet.
