I build a winforms app in C# which embeds Google Earth as a viewer. Like this. My app receives data regularly, transforms that to KML, and displays the result in Google Earth. Whenever I receive the new update, I want to delete the old KML, but I could not find how in GE API. All I found is making the old stuff invisible: this.g...
I can't get DDMS to load any KML files. I have a KML file for example with the following in it: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"> <Placemark> <name>Simple placemark</name> <description>Attached to the ground. Intelligently places itself at the height of the underlying te...
I am trying to use the Google Earth API to create a simple view of the globe with a search field in which the user can type a location. When they hit go, the globe will zoom in on the location they typed in. I would like the view to be looking straight down on the location they specified. I have tried the following code: var lookAt = g...

I'm displaying KML placemark data in Google Earth via a NetworkLink, and would like to keep the size of the KML down by not including the description text in the Placemarks' KML definitions. Instead, I would like to retrieve and embed remote HTML text (via an HTTP request) only when the balloon window is activated. Is this possible? I k...
When I add GMarkers to a google map I can specifiy the min and max zoom levels at which the marker should be displayed using MarkerManager. Is there a way to specifiy this for Placemarks in kml files when they're displayed in Google Maps? It looks like the region tag in kml does this, but only in Google Earth, not in Google Maps. ...
I am using openlayers function to display kml output over my map. I am generating a kml file when user give a search for any location. So the kml file keeps changing for each search (Since my result keeps changing). I am using : kmlLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("KML","../kml/searchResult.kml", { p...

Exists a way for i can delete the temporary places in google earth before add new placemarks using a kml file? ...
Does anyone have any practical examples of programmatically drawing icons as vectors in KML? Specifically, I have data with a magnitude and an azimuth at given coordinates, and I would like to have icons (or another graphical element) generated based on these values. Some thoughts on how I might approach it: Image directory (a brute f...
I'm using KML to overlay shapes on a Google map. Information corresponding to each shape is included in the <description> element, along with a link to a detail page corresponding to that shape. So for example, my KML includes this: <description> <![CDATA[ <div> ... <p> <a href="Concession.20.aspx">Vi...

I'm trying to do some network analysis for a client. The provided road-network GIS layer is of bad quality; therefore, I have to resort to Google maps to provide me shortest path between 200 points, to produce time and distance matrices between each point. is there a way i can input the layer as a set of KML points to obtain outputs of ...
Does anyone know what compression to use in Java for creating KMZ files that have images stored within them? I tried using standard Java compression (and various modes, BEST_COMPRESSION, DEFAULT_COMPRESSION, etc), but my compressed file and the kmz file always come out slightly different don't load in google earth. It seems like my png i...

I'm writing a script which reads and manipulates a KML (xml) document. Below is a snippet of the document I'm reading: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Generated by Feature Manipulation Engine 2009 (Build 5658) --> <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <Document> ...
I am having a really frustrating problem in CakePHP where a space keeps coming up at the beginning of my KML file layout which causes Google Earth to reject the KML file! <?php header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=area.kml"); header("Content-Type: application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml kml; charset=utf8"); header("Content-Tra...
There is some strange behaviour in parsing KML produced by Google Earth using a compliant parser, JAK. The expected namespace by the parser is not written as the correct one by the GE Kml production system and when reading this KML back into another Java application validation fails. We are fiddling the stream as it is read and replacin...
I have a problem with the Google Maps API only allowing 1000 features per map. In a database, I keep records of areas. Each area has associated with it a heap of KML polygon information, stored as an XML string. Each area is made up of one or more polygons. Given some user input, a handful of these areas are combined into one <Placemar...
I know this is a total newbie question, but I happen to be a total newbie when it comes to KML. I am working on a GIS project using KML and I keep running into this multiple geometry issue. I want to programmatically determine when I need to encapsulate my <LineString /> points in a <MultiGeometry /> tag and when I don't. Is it when a...
