Is there a way to insert a 2D image into Google Earth which could then be rotated to always face the camera? It's done in Sketch-up with the man that stands there when you initially open a new scene. You can rotate your view around, but he will keep facing you until you look at him from the top, which then reviels that he is actually a ...
Hi, My goal is to display various shapes(polygons, points, linestring) on google maps by using data entered into a Postgis database dynamically(i mean by that we can see modifications in the map in real time). I was looking for a way to do this that used the spatial structure already provided in postgis(already designating if shape is ...

I've got a KML with 127 simple polygons in it. If I load them all in via GGeoXml then it's lightning fast, and when you zoom in/out it redraws all the polygons (just about) instantly. When I use either EGeoXml or CsGeoXml classes then zooming in/out becomes slow (about 4-6 seconds) as it redraws the polygons 20-30 or so at a time. I n...
Hi everyone, I have the following kml file that I am loading in Google map, it's locating the pointer correctly however the it's always zoomed at the maximum level.

Hi, I have a KML file defining several paths/routes (representing actual roads) enclosed in the <LineString><coordinates></coordinates></LineString> tags. Parsing the file to other formats (arrays/MySQL) is already in place, so that's not a problem. Given a point (longitude/latitude) I would like to be able to check if the point is on ...

Greetings, I want to write a script that handles simple http requests from Google Earth and sends back KML to display map tiles that are stored locally. I would LIKE to use Python but any language is fine. I have not ever done anything with CGI, but I think this is the simplest way to accomplish my task. This is what the Google KML d...

Hi, I use polygones in kml files for displaying a rocket's flightpath from ground into orbit in google earth kml files. the problem is, that google earth can't handle longitued greater than 180deg, so when a rocket will circle more than ones around the globe the longitued values has to be recalculated. Is there a way in using longitude...

I'm looking since quite a long time something like a CLLocationManager simulator that would enable me to simulate GPS positions (CLLocation instances that could be retrieved through the CLLocationManager standard delegate mechanism) along a predefined route for instance (with a KML or GPX file as input, or whatever, but KML would be ni...
