var moveCamera = function(count) {
  var lookAt = ge.getView().copyAsLookAt(ge.ALTITUDE_RELATIVE_TO_GROUND);
  lookAt.setLatitude(lookAt.getLatitude() + .1);
  lookAt.setLongitude(lookAt.getLongitude() + 5);
  ge.getView().setAbstractView(lookAt);

  if (count < 40) {
    setTimeout(function() {
      moveCamera(count + 1);
    }, 50);
  } else {
    // restore old flyTo speed
