I'm writing a basic planet viewer OpenGL Perl application, just for fun. I have the basics working, with the glorious planet, implemented through a gluSphere(), rotating with the classic earth texture map applied. Now, what if I want to apply a second texture map through OpenGL (say, the "earth clouds")? Of course, I can mix the two te...
I would like to use Virtual Earth on an ASP.NET MVC application for a client. What are the licenses available for commercial use? Also, does anyone have a good example? I tried a few examples but they always end with 'Object is null' error in the java script code. Thanks in advance. ...
The following code: <body onload="GetMap()"> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6&s=1"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var map = null; function GetMap() { map = new VEMap('myMap'); map.LoadMap(); }...
Does anybody know of an easy-to-use, FOSS equivalent of the program generating this 'live' colored, earth map. Alternatively, equally appreciated would be enough pointers on the logic, API, and data to use to write such a program on my own in Java or C? What I Basically Want I need to be able to generate a picture for my space-time c...
I've been wondering this for a while now. One of our software has a feature that create a well-formatted document from all the data that the user inputted in the software. The goal is to create something they call a plan that the user can hand over to the government for revision. The government only seem to accept those plans in the pri...
Hi, I am trying to place an image using Import3DModel. The object is getting placed but if let'z say I am giving the Latitude and logitude of the building, it replaces the building and place the 3-D object imported. Can any one please let me know how can I protect the shape below or in the orginal layer/tile and add the new shape on t...
I'm guessing that the units it uses is meters (m), but it doesn't seem clear from the documentation I've found. Is this correct? If so, just to verify, in order to convert between miles/meters, I presume these functions should do the trick: public static function mi2m($mi) { // miles to meters return $mi * 1609.344; } public stat...

Hello, I want to use Google Earth in a desktop application. My question is which one of these two APIs provided by google do you think has more functionality and/or best support? Thank you very much ...
We are trying to make a timeline in google earth that connects to different points around the globe. We made the KML file and it works just fine with a linear path with consecutive times/points, but would like to make the path branch off into different paths at certain times. How do we manipulate the KML to include the branching lines?...
I'm wondering if it's possible to find all points by longitude and latitude within X radius of one point? So, if I provide a latitude/longitude of -76.0000, 38.0000, is it possible to simply find all the possible coordinates within (for example) a 10 mile radius of that? I know that there's a way to calculate the distance between t...
How do you links cities with a curve (line) in kml for Google Earth? ...
I have a Latitude, Longitude, and a direction of travel in degrees true north. I would like to calculate if I will intersect a line defined by two more Lat/Lon points. I figure the two points defining the line would create my great circle and my location and azimuth would define my Rhumb line. I am only interested in intersections tha...
Hi, I just starting coding with Google Earth using the GEPlugin control for .Net and still got a lot to learn. What has got me puzzled is when I try to drag a polygon. The method below is called whenever the mousemove event fires and should be moving each point of the polygon while retaining the orginal shape of the polygon. The lat ...
Have many geo-data collected from different source and in different formats. Want to convert them into KML and use Google Earth / Map as a Engine to render nice PNGs for me. My Client need to achieve or print out those PNGs every few hours. But seems the Google Earth / Map don't have a export API. We have considers other GIS program....
I am looking for some kind of earth model that at run time can pick up some data from an xml file and display it on the earth based on lan or lon etc.Is there something like that ? Any OpenGL or flash where I don't have to do coding just feed the thing.Can someone shed some light on available ways to accomplish this.Something on the line...
Google Earth stores the points with a nice feature: you can double-click on a marker and will get placed directly behind the street view bubble. Another double click takes you to the street view. I have a database of street view links. A kml file is generated from the Street View links. I would like to add the "camera"/"look at" tags to...
